Summary/Abstract: Many factors influence to sediment yield of rivers flowing into Caspian Sea within the territory Azerbaijan.The chemistry of bedrock and surfical geology and the drainage characteristics of soils can determine whether natural waters are acid or alkaline, sedimentladenor clear, high in heavy metals and dissolved salts or relatively free of those constituents. Physical processes like erosion can add large quantities of suspended sediment to waters of rivers flowing into Caspian Sea within the territory Azerbaijan. Sediment yield directly affects virtually all water uses. Fish survival, diversity, and growth; recreational activitities such as swimming and boating; municipal, industrial and private water supplies; agricultural uses such as irrigation and livestock watering; waste disposal; and general aesthetics-all are affected by the physical, chemical, biological and microbiological conditions that exist in watercourses and in subsurfase aquifers
