Channel avulsion mechanism for the formation of abandoned channel of the Sankosh River Basin in India

Channel Avulsion is an important key factor for the formation of abandoned channel in the lower course of River flowing over the alluvial flood plain. Channel avulsions are more common in the study area of Sankosh River basin due to the variation of regional slope and high intensity of rainstorms which create the favourable conditions for the formation of abandoned channels. Various type of channel avulsion has been identified during the field survey in the study area in this regard.
