Linkages Between Sinuosity Index and Flood Sustainability: A Study of Morna River (Maharashtra), India

The morphological changes in the river channel over periods that occur due to flood events, affected sinuosity index of channel. characteristic like also determines intensity a Recent losses have increased as result variability rainfall; simultaneously such problems are coming up with sustainable development. attempted research study has been carried out evaluate and understand bank stability Morna Maharashtra. work identified pattern/planform river. meets Warna near Mangle village. Most streams upper basin area non-perennial. occurrence floods takes place seasonal rainfall. An Sinuosity was used analyze variation courses, well identify instability. Therefore, this may facilitate predicting probable riverbank erosion sites support management planning for these during forthcoming events. ranges from 1.09 1.44. indexes tributaries its sub-basins/watersheds calculated using geospatial techniques. disparities sub-watersheds having good correlation slope , fluvial processes, water discharge hydraulic aspects Seasonal potential risk agricultural land be found at confluence tributary when it receives heavy rainfall upstream.
