The non-monsoon months that constitute around 65% of the period annually, is supported by the water stored in the reservoirs. However, due to the process of water flow and accumulation, the silt in the water from the rivers settle in the reservoirs referred as siltation. Given this, the research paper focuses on analyzing the sound speed profile of a typical shallow freshwater system (Khadakwasla Lake; 18.43\u00b0N, 73.76\u00b0E), using regression models with the goal of deriving a computationally efficient model. It aims to study acoustic propagation at tropical shallow water and classify sediment at Khadakwasla Lake using acoustic techniques. It further presents a complete framework of acoustic propagation in tropical shallow freshwater systems. The research note suggests that knowledge of the sediment type is crucial before dredging initiatives and that use of acoustic techniques for classification of the sediment type would be an effective tool in guiding the dredging agencies in utilizing appropriate dredging equipment.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea95928 grve-elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-impeka_title\" data-id=\"ea95928\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"impeka_title.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><h5 class=\"grve-element grve-title grve-h5\"><strong>Key highlights<\/strong><\/h5><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4be8269 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4be8269\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><ul><li>Water and energy are tightly interlinked and highly interdependent.
