Hydromorphology of sinuous river system with and without downward seepage

Abstract

Alluvial channels with sinuosity follow an altered flow behavior contradictory to straight flows The usual sight of a river system consists of bends or loops along its course Pervious channel boundary allows the transfer of water between the surface and sub surface of a river system Extensive use of groundwater causes depletion or lowering of the groundwater table This has led the channel water to seep away and join the water table underneath commonly known as downward seepage or suction...
