Question

What type of river does the diagram represent?

(a) Braided River

(b) Aggrading Type River

(c) Degrading type River

(d) Stable Type River

I have been asked this question during an interview.

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

Answer 1

Right option is (a) Braided River

To elaborate: This is braided river as the flow is around alluvial islands. These islands are developed due deposition of coarser material which cannot be transported under the existing conditions of the flow, consisting of coarse and fine material.
