ABSTRACT: A survey uses this new
information: the statistical calculation and interpretation to determine the
characteristics of sediments in the reservoir’s “Dodar Ladiz” dam. It is a
useful and efficient way to use clay minerals as mineral tracer for identifying
the sources and assessing erosion rate in the Dodar Ladiz dam watershed in a
statistical method. The existence of four main clay minerals includes
Kaolinite, Montmorillonite, Illite and Chlorite. The estimated watershed
erosion rate is 2220.64 tons per square kilometer per year. Data ANOVA table in
the inter/intra group communication of the clay minerals in the Dodar Ladiz dam
watershed samples is shown by F-test statistics; there is a significant
difference between the frequency of clay minerals in the samples with 95%
confidence rate (P value
