Rivers Behaviour, Control and Training topics include: Rivers classification and behavior, indian rivers and their classification, rivers control and training. River training works are a set of measures that can be used to guide and control a river's flow. These measures can also be used to regulate the river bed or increase the lower water depth.  River training works are classified into four categories: Training for Sediment Low Water Training Training for Depth Training for Discharge Groynes can be used with other training works depending upon the purpose they are used for  Some...
