A Practical Method Of Assessing River Bank Erosion Potential: A Case Study In Lower Assam Region Of River Brahmaputra
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
River bank erosion is an acute and recurrent natural hazard all over the world. The same hazard is also very much common, devastating and frequent in Assamdue to river Brahmaputra, Barak and their tributaries. Every year the river Brahmaputra is eroding both banks at alarming rate creating enormous difficulties, havoc and multi-dimensional loss to the affected people. The erosional tendency of river bank of Brahmaputra is not same in its entire reach as the soil characteristics of all locations are not same. It is understood that the extent of erosion depends on many factors. The properties of river bank soil is also one major factor related to erosion. This particular study is carried out to ascertain the role of geotechnical properties of soil in assessing the erosion potential in river bank erosion in lower Assam region of river Brahmaputra of India so that these properties of soil could be used as erosion predictor or assessor to assess the vulnerability of locations in river reach and finally the whole river stream might be categorized locations wise as vulnerable or non-vulnerable to erosion for taking anti erosive measure preference wise.
