Assessing the long-term planform dynamics of Ganges–Jamuna confluence with the aid of remote sensing and GIS

Enhancing Riverbank Protection along the Jamuna River, Bangladesh: Review of Previous Countermeasures and Morphological Assessment through Groyne-Based Solutions Using Numerical Modeling

“…Kalitola Groyne, a key initiative of the River Bank Protection Project (RBPP) [11], aimed to prevent the Jamuna and Bangali rivers from merging in Sariakandi. Utilizing durable CC blocks and a reinforcing mat enhanced the groyne's resilience against river forces, providing local erosion protection without altering the main river course.…”

Around seven decades river course shifting and bank erosion susceptibility of river Mujnai

“…Basically, the rate of sediment yield and sediment connectivity to the channel with flood plain encourages the mechanism of river bank erosion (Fujita et al, 2000; Rosgen & Silvey, 1996). Processes of river bank erosion are generally regulated by different external and internal factors (Bera et al, 2019; Hughes, 2016) and repeated bank failure also assists channel planform adjustment and partial stability of river bank (Bera et al, 2019; Khan et al, 2022; Wellmeyer et al, 2005). Consequently, some physical factors like the presence of riparian vegetation (Hughes, 2016), plant roots penetration in depth of soil (Abernethy & Rutherfurd, 2000), compactness, lithology and structure of soil, channel width, channel depth, bank angle, climatic condition (rainfall pattern and intensity) (Wolman, 1959), hydraulic regime, and so forth and various anthropogenic factors like pattern of land use (Collins et al, 2001), drainage congestion due to construction of roads, railways across the rivers and stream bank protection have been identified as principal driving forces for riverbank erosion at different riparian environment on the earth surface (Rinaldi & Casagli, 1999).…”
