Question

Which category of river training work helps in navigation of the channels?

(a) Mean Water Training

(b) Training for Depth

(c) Training for Discharge

(d) Training for Sediment

This question was addressed to me during an interview for a job.

My question is based upon Control and Training of Rivers topic in section Rivers Behaviour, Control and Training of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) Training for Depth

The best I can explain: This work is primarily undertaken with the aim of providing adequate depth in the navigable channels even in low water periods. This is done by enhancing the flow in the desired channel by closing other channels by the process of bandalling.
