 What is River Bank Erosion

• River bank erosion is the removal of material from the banks of

rivers when flowing water forces exceed bank resisting forces by
the soil and vegetation , for example , primarily due to fluvial
energy and atmospheric processes and secondarily because of the
resultant Geotechnical.
 River Bank Erosion
• River bank erosion is one of the most unpredictable and critical type
of disasters.
• It is vastly influenced by rainfall,soil structure ,river
morphology,topography of the river and adjacent areas and floods .
• Such calamity took less effect in lives but more in livelihood as
agricultural land along with other livelihood options that are
evacuated.
 River Bank Erosion
• One of the most influenced phenomenon is that climate change is
expected to disturb the sediment balance.Because of poor
understanding of river bank erosion processes,river dynamics and
sediments transport models are weakly integrated into river
management strategies.
• Bank erosion is strongly influenced by pore water pressure and the
moisture content within the bank,which are influenced by hydrological
processes.
