Application of ROM Scale for Assessing Erosional Vulnerability in Lower Assam Region of River Brahmaputra.
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Natural hazard or disaster and human being of this globe are like the two faces of a coin. From the formation of life in this world, they are facing several types of hazard or disaster like earthquake, draught, cyclone, flood, volcanic eruption, river bank erosion etc. The river bank erosion is the very common and recurrenthazard to the people of the world causing multi-dimensional loss to the river side inhabitants with tremendous adverse effect on the environment. Any natural hazard cannot be prevented but the effect can be minimized by adopting appropriate measures. To adopt the appropriate measures, the intensity and hazard occurring locations must be identified. In case of river bank erosion also the erosional hazard is not same in all locations of the river reach. Therefore, for effective implementation of anti-erosive measures, the river reach should be identified and marked as per the probability of degree of erosion. In this work, it is tried to check the suitability of ROM scale to assess the vulnerability of erosion in lower Assam region of river Brahmaputra, so that with the help of this method the whole river reach can be categorized and pin pointed as per the probability of degree of erosion for taking anti- erosive measures on priority basis for the greater benefit of the affected people.
