Quantification of River Bank Erosion, Accretion and Its Effect on Land Use: A Case Study of the Ganges (Left Bank) Upstream of Farakka Barrage, Malda District, West Bengal
Abstract: Bank erosion is mainly a physical process of river dynamics that causes threat to the riparian and floodplain structures, engulfs fertile agricultural land, homes, means of livelihood and assets of the people. Along with physical causes, anthropogenic activities disturb the equilibrium of the river dynamics along the river stretch and accelerate the rate of bank erosion. The study focuses to quantify the decadal and mouza-wise erosion and accretion along the …
