Challenges of River Corridor Management in Dynamic Braided River Systems
Delineating River Corridor of a large braided river from the mainland is a challenging task, as diverse human activities are often observed within the sand bars and in the point bars of such river. Large spatiotemporal variation in their width adds further complexities to River Corridor management of braided reaches. Dynamic nature and hence the complexities in river corridor delineation are demonstrated by analysing pattern of progressive changes in the river cross-section of the Brahmaputra River within the period 1971 to 2011. Various prevailing human activities within the flow path of some of the large braided rivers of the world are presented to show its genuine utility. Scope and challenges of channelizing braided river are finally demonstrated through application of hydrodynamic model BRAHMA in a 130 km long braided reach of Brahmaputra River. Need of field-based research along with application of modelling techniques to utilize the river corridor of a braided river advantageously without disturbing the river ecology is advocated.
