abstract: "<p class="ql-align-justify">This data paper presents the Fine Aggregate (FA) Profile of an important river, the Goain in Bangladesh and the Dawki called in the part of India, which is a major source of natural FA for construction activities in Bangladesh. The FA Profiles were analyzed using sieve and Sand Equivalent (SE) Value of Soils and FA tests over a period of more than two years, with samples collected thrice a month from Jaflong, Sylhet, Bangladesh. The sampling method followed standard guidelines, and the sieve analysis test report satisfied size distribution requirements, despite some fluctuations in the test results. The primary focus of this data is to present the scenario of sand availability throughout the years, which will be valuable for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in planning and designing construction projects that involve river sand. This data paper provides a comprehensive dataset on the FA Profile of the Goain (Dawki) River, which can be reused in various ways, including developing predictive models, monitoring the effects of climate change, and identifying areas for sustainable sand extraction.</p><p><br></p>"
