Resumo

The present paper is a contribution to the study of the Upper Grande River, Nova Friburgo. It is a preliminary study of the relationship between the river-bed sediments and the declivity of the river profile. Granulometric analysis were performed on channel sediments in attempt to find a sedimentological caracterization of the river. The following parameters were computed: central tendency and mean grain size, dispersion, assimetry and curtosis.The data analysed shows two distinct environments: that of the headwaters and that of the base level. Both environments are composed of poorly selected sediments.
