Stabilization of the Lower Jamuna River in Bangladesh: Hydraulic and Morphological Assessment

This paper presents a hydraulic and morphological analysis of the Lower Jamuna in Bangladesh with a focus on two key bifurcations that are important for stabilization of the Lower Jamuna reach. We used ground measurements, historical data, multispectral satellite images from various sources as well as numerical models. We carried out hydraulic...

Deep-channel dynamics: A challenge for erosion management in large rivers

In this paper, we present flow and erosion problems in selected reaches of two large and dynamic river systems in South Asia, namely the Koshi River in Nepal (and India) and the Lower Brahmaputra (Jamuna) in Bangladesh. We attempted to analyse large- and meso-scale (short- and medium-term) morphological changes with a focus on the dynamics of...
