At the delta level, there are three stratigraphic units related to the Pleistocene and five units related to the Holocene. In this study, more than 50 boreholes were drilled and a borehole for analysis was analyzed at the most critical parts of the region. Type of drilling in the study was machine-rotating and continuous sampling was conducted to a depth of 18 meters at a depth. Underground water level for this purpose was 3 meters and using experiments, research work began on the sand of the area, sand of the area was tested by ​​field and laboratory studies such as on-site testing, grading test, and chemical and mineralogical tests. Based on the tests, sediments were mainly made of plagioclase, clinopyroxene and epidote minerals, a little quartz and carbonate debris and contained circular and semi-circular particulars and a small amount of clay and in some areas, silt in the surface layers.
