Quantification of riverbank erosion and application in risk analysis
Natural Hazards, 2013The estimation of river bank erosion requires the knowledge of both local hydrodynamic and erodibility characteristics. Models exist in literature that allow the estimation of the river bank shear stress, the fundamental parameter in evaluating the retreat given the discharge flow and the geometry of the river channel.

Controlling Riverbank Erosion with Jute Geotextiles
2016Rivers flowing across unconsolidated terrain are susceptible to erosion of the banks in their effort to find the most convenient course. Besides, erodibility of bank soil and fluctuation of water level contribute largely to bank erosion. This chapter elaborates technical as well as economical advantages of using treated Jute Geotextiles (JGT) over the ...
