Engineered Anti Erosion Works along the Banks of River Ganges
River bank erosion is a natural process that results in the formation of the productive floodplains and alluvial terraces common to many of river systems. Events like flooding can trigger dramatic and sudden changes in rivers and streams. However, land use and stream management can also trigger erosion. Many anti-erosion techniques are used as engineered solutions to the problems. The Farakka Barrage Project (FBP), 2245 m long barrage across the River Ganga and 213 m long barrage across the River Bhagirathi, is designed to serve the need of preservation and maintenance of Calcutta Port by improving the regime and navigability of the Bhagirath-Hoogly river system. The river banks at the Farakka Barrage Project on River Ganges have been experiencing erosion, especially during floods. The protection works carried out by FBP has successfully restored the eroded banks. The paper describes the anti erosion works carried out along the banks of River Ganges and restorations of damaged banks.
