Test: River Training Works - 1 - Question 1

The ‘meander length’ for an alluvial river is

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Meander length (ML) is the axial length of one meander, i.e., the tangential distance between the corresponding points of a meander.

Test: River Training Works - 1 - Question 2

The ‘meander belt’ for an alluvial river is

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Meander belt (MB) is the distance between the outer edges of clockwise and anti-clockwise loops of the meander.

Test: River Training Works - 1 - Question 3

For a meandering alluvial river, the ratio of its ‘channel length’ to ‘direct axial length’ is always:

Test: River Training Works - 1 - Question 4

Tortuosity in a meandering river, is

Test: River Training Works - 1 - Question 5

Meander ratio in an alluvial meandering river is given by

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Meander ratio is the ratio of meander belt to meander length i.e., MB/ML.

Test: River Training Works - 1 - Question 6

In a meandering river reach, the deepest river portions will be available at

Test: River Training Works - 1 - Question 7

Sinuosity of a meandering river is

Test: River Training Works - 1 - Question 8

Aggrading rivers are:

Detailed Solution: Question 8

If the river is collecting sediment and is building up its bed, it is called an aggrading or of an accreting type, if the bed is getting scoured year to year it is calfed a degrading river. If there is no silting or scouring it is called a stable river. An aggrading river is a silting river.

Test: River Training Works - 1 - Question 9

The river reach upstream of a newly built dam may behave as

Test: River Training Works - 1 - Question 10

The factor which is not primarily responsible for meander in an alluvial river, is

Detailed Solution: Question 10

The widely accepted theory behind meandering is based upon the extra turbulence generated by the excess of river sediment during floods. During floods, the river carries tremendous amount of silt charge. When the silt charge is in excess of the quantity required for stability, the river starts building up its slope by depositing the silt on its bed. This accretion is the primary process, which leads to meandering.
