Abstract
The complex process of riverbank erosion along the Brahmaputra River's braided course is examined in this study. The research uses a broad technique that includes satellite imagery from Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) to identify the factors influencing erosion processes. The main causes of erosion are liquefaction, sub-aerial weathering, and oversteepening; these processes are exacerbated by the heterogeneous nature of bank materials. Located in the tectonic sedimentary province of Assam, in the Brahmaputra valley, the region is very susceptible to erosion, which has a substantial effect on the socioeconomic structure of the area. The valley, home to more than 15 million people, floods regularly, causing extensive displacement, the loss of agricultural land, disruptions to the educational system, and worsening public health issues. To address these issues, the government has started anti-erosion campaigns in addition to large-scale infrastructure projects like building embankments and drainage canals. The study highlights the implementation of geo-textile bags as a preemptive strategy to enhance the stability of riverbanks. Additionally, the study offers a number of thorough recommendations for fully mitigating the hazards related to erosion and flooding. These include developing a thorough plan for managing floodplains, implementing bioengineering techniques to stabilise riverbanks, and fostering institutional coordination for efficient river management. Through the combination of census data, academic articles, and governmental initiatives, this study offers an understanding of the intricate relationships between human activity, natural geomorphologic processes, and policy responses in endangered riverine ecosystems. The data acquired from this research will be essential for developing plans for sustainable river management in the Brahmaputra basin and other areas of the world facing comparable problems.
