This paper aims to examine the nature of width, depth and configuration distribution along Kuya River and their temporal directionality of changes. It also pays attention to prepare some simplified indices regarding basin asymmetry, channel asymmetry and river bank stability and to explain the nature of basin and channel asymmetry and river bank stability using those constructed indices. Irregu...

riverbank erosion, land loss and associated sedimentation are river engineering and water resources management problems of global significance. the ability to predict riverbank stability on eroding rivers is the prerequisite of developing a channel width adjustment model and is essential for estimating riverbank erosion and associated sedimentation. in this research, a detailed model for stabil...
