Question

A river which does not change its alignment, slope is called a stable river.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in exam.

My question is from Classification of Rivers in portion Rivers Behaviour, Control and Training of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

For explanation I would say: In this type of river changes like silting action, scouring etc in alignment or slope occurs, but these changes are negligible may fail to produce any changes in the regime of the channel. In this type most of the sediment is brought to the sea or ocean.
