Abstract:

Morphology of an alluvial river channel is the consequence of erosion, sediment transport and sedimentation in a river. Sediment budget accounts for the sources, sinks and redistribution pathways of sediments, solutes and nutrients in a unit region over unit time. Human activities are the most important factors that affect the variation in the pattern of river sediment load. This paper discusses sediment budget of a few large rivers by review of literature and estimation of sediment budget of Brahmaputra River in Assam using mass balance approach. An attempt has also been made to discuss human

Abstract:

The Ganges River Dolphin (Platanista gangetica) is the most charismatic aquatic species inhabiting rivers of India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It is an endangered species that occurs both in the Brahmaputra and Barak river systems in Assam (India). In the Brahmaputra river system, the occurence of ‘hihu’ is primarily confirmed in the mainstream Brahmaputra, the Kulsi river of Kamrup district, and the Subansiri river of Lakhimpur district. The dolphins inhabit river confluences or tributary junctions followed by river meanderings with the prevalence of eddy counter-currents and prey-fish abundance.

Abstract:

The spine of Assam’s agro-valley is the Brahmaputra River, one of the world’s greatest rivers. However, the stability of the riverbank is negatively impacted by the river’s temporal shifting, frequent floods, and severe erosion. One of the main natural risks in Laharighat, Morigaon district, is river bank erosion. In the northern area of the Morigaon District, several villages disintegrate completely or partially each year. In many areas of Assam, especially the Morigaon district, bank erosion of the Brahmaputra River has reached worrisome proportions. The study’s goals are to assess the Brahm

Abstract:

The Bangladesh lowlands are traversed by the largest sediment flux on the planet. Detritus generated mostly in Himalayan highlands and conveyed through the Ganga–Brahmaputra rivers and Meghna estuary reaches the Bay of Bengal, where it forms a composite deltaic system. This study integrates the vast existing database on Ganga–Brahmaputra sediments of all grain sizes from clay to sand with new petrographic, mineralogical, and geochemical data on estuarine and shallow-marine sands. A large spectrum of compositional signatures was used to: (i) assess the relative supply of the Ganga and Brahmaput

Abstract Tenualosa ilisha, commonly called Hilsa, is a highly prized species, which has declined in River Brahmaputra, India. The study was carried out for one year and a total of 1,026 individuals were sampled at monthly intervals. In the study, the following growth parameters were observed: asymptotic length (L∞) = 445 mm, growth coefficient (K) = 0.5 year-1, and age at length zero (t0) = −0.5 year-1. Growth performance index (φ) was estimated to be 2.996. Natural mortality rate, total mortality, and fishing mortality was found to be 0.51 year-1, 1.57 year-1, and 1.06 year-1,respectively. Ex

Abstract:

The giant river-catfish Sperata seenghala is one of the commercially important freshwater catfishes of India with wide distribution in all major rivers and reservoirs. This fish has huge demand in domestic market due to high nutritional value and low number of intramuscular bones. Conversely, the culture practices for this fish have not yet been standardized and capture fisheries is the only source to meet the demand. This may lead to over exploitation of resources and subsequent population reduction. Knowledge on genetic structure of populations is prerequisite to formulate sustainable manage

Abstract. Continental-scale chemical weathering budgets are commonly assessed based on the flux of dissolved elements carried by large rivers to the oceans. However, the interaction between sediments and seawater in estuaries can lead to additional cation exchange fluxes that have been very poorly constrained so far. We constrained the magnitude of cation exchange fluxes from the Ganga–Brahmaputra river system based on cation exchange capacity (CEC) measurements of riverine sediments. CEC values of sediments are variable throughout the river water column as a result of hydrological sorting of

Thus, it is not considered in the calculation of terrestrial water storage (TWS) from such satellite data.

Abstract. We investigate how CMIP3 climate models describe the hydrological cycle over four major South and Southeast Asian river basins (Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra and Mekong) for the XX, XXI, and XXII centuries. For the XX century, models' simulated water balance and total runoff quantities are neither consistent with the observed mean river discharges nor among the models. Most of the models underestimate the water balance for the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Mekong basin and overestimate it for the Indus basin. The only modest inter-model agreement is found for the Indus basin in terms of preci
