Abstract:The paper aims to determine the potential avulsion zones on the piedmont segment of the Chel river basin. A total of 12 hydro-geomorphic causative variables have been selected considering the river basin's present geomorphological and hydrological characteristics. The analysis focused on spatial modeling considering Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) technique. The paper's main contribution is to identify the active avulsion zones on the piedmont of Darjeeling Himalaya triggered by high monsoon rainfall (5479.3 m… Show more
