    Groynes are structures constructed from the river bank into the river to control river flow. Groynes can be classified based on their material (permeable or solid), their height relative to the water level (submerged or non-submerged), their function (attracting, deflecting, repelling or sedimentation), or their special type (T-headed, hockey-type, or Burma-type). Groynes are also known as spurs, dikes or transverse dikes.

    GROYNES OR SPURS

    Groynes are structures constructed transverse to the river flow and extend from the bank
    into river upto a limit. These groynes are also known as spurs, dikes and transverse dikes.

    Types of Groynes

    Groynes can be classified in the following ways:

    1. Classification according to the material of construction

    (a) Permeable groyne

    (b) Solid impermeable groyne

    2. Classification according to its height below high water

    (a) Submerged groyne.

    (b) Non- submerged groyne.

    3. Classification according to the function it serves

    (a) Attracting groyne.

    (b) Deflecting groyne.

    (c) Repelling groyne.

    (d) Sedimenting groyne.

    4. Special types of groynes such as

    (a) Denehy’s T- headed groyne.

    (b) Hockey type groyne.

    (c) Burma type groyne.
