Abstract

Bank erosion is a severe problem in the rivers of Bangladesh. Besides the important scientific and engineering relevance, bank erosion also exerts significant social and economic impacts in this southern Asian country. This paper describes typical bank protection measures as well as their hydraulic and morphological consequences in the lower part of the Brahmaputra River (named the Jamuna River in Bangladesh). Based on a series of field investigation results, attempts have been made to clarify the mechanisms of bank erosion along this large alluvial river. Moreover, the performances of existing bank protection measures are evaluated and possible solutions for further enhancement are proposed. Special attention is paid to a historied and indigenous river training structure: Bandal. The recurrent use of Bandal-like structures is suggested for bank protection and channel stabilization of the braided Jamuna River.
