Question

In the meandering process on which side of the bank erosion takes place?

(a) Convex Side

(b) Bottom of the River

(c) Concave Side

(d) Due to Sediment Load

I had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

The query is from Classification of Rivers in division Rivers Behaviour, Control and Training of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) Concave Side

The best I can explain: In these reaches there is a constant erosion of the river bed on the concave side and the deposition of the eroded soil on the convex side of the successive bends or between two successive bends.
