| Description |
The bank sediments along the extremely meandered Dhansiri River channel, a south bank tributary of the
mighty Brahmaputra River, with erosion potentiality have been investigated to evaluate its certain geotechnical
characteristics. The study has shown that the bank sediments are basically composed of CL and ML types of soil. These
types of sediments are very much prone to liquefaction which in turn related to erosion susceptibility. The bank stability
analysis has differentiated the studied stretch into unstable, at risk and stable zones. Most of the erosion affected
zones along the channel reach under study are located within the unstable or at risk zones. The field study around
Butalikhowa, Barguriagaon, Golaghat and Duchmuagaon areas along the channel with active erosion activity has supported
our contention and practical utility of the present study. It is expected that such type of study will help in providing
certain inevitable baseline information for various channel management practices for this extremely flood prone areas
of Northeast India.
