 ABSTRACT
This aspect of river engineering considers methods and techniques for protecting the
banks of rivers from collapsing. Hence, certain structural interventions are required to
be implemented, which are termed as the riverbank protection works or alternately as
bank stabilization structures. Generally these are simple to construct though, the
specific hydraulic and geomorphic process associated with these structures are quite
complex and challenging. Hence, the type of bank protection work has to be in
accordance with the conditions of the specific site – a method suitable for one location
of a river may not be so far another location of the same river or at another river. For a
proper appreciation of the techniques of bank stabilization, one has to have an
awareness about fluvial geomorphology and channel processes, a brief account of
which has been discussed
