    This document discusses river training, which involves measures taken to direct and regulate river flow. The objectives of river training are to safely transport sediment and water, maintain a stable river course with minimal bank erosion, and provide sufficient depth for navigation. River training works are classified as high water, low water, or mean water training depending on whether they aim to increase discharge capacity, depth, or sediment transport efficiency. Common river training structures include guide banks, groynes/spurs, pitched islands, and bank protection methods.

    TOPIC- RIVER TRAINING


    SUBMITTED BY: AYUSH GUPTA

    RIVER TRAINING

     This implies various measures adopted


    on a river to direct and guide the river flow,
    to train and regulate the river bed or
    to increase the low water depth.

     The purpose of river training is to establish the channel along a certain


    alignment.
    Objectives of River Training

     To make the high flood discharge pass safely and quickly through the reach.
     To transport the sediment load including bed and suspended load efficiently.
     To make the river course stable and reduce bank erosion to minimum.
     To provide a sufficient draft for navigation as well as good course for it.
     To fix the direction of flow through certain defined reach.
    Classification of Rivers Training Works

    High water training


    Low water training
    Mean water training
    High Water Training

     It is also called as TRAINING FOR DISCHARGE.


     It is trained for providing sufficient and efficient crossection area for the
    expeditious passage of maximum flood
     It concerns mainly with the alignment and height of embankments for a given
    flood discharge.
    Low water Training

     It is also called as TRAINING FOR DEPTH.


     It is trained for providing sufficient depth for navigation during low stage of
    river.
     This is achieved by contraction of the width of the channel.
    Mean Water Training

     It is also called as TRAINING FOR SEDIMENT.


     The river is trained to correct the configuration of river bed for efficient
    transport and also keeps the channel in good shape.
     Mean water training is the most important and based on this, the high and low
    training are designed.
    Types of River Training Works

     Guide Bank Systems


     Groynes or Spurs
     Pitched islands
     Bank protection
    Guide Bank System

     They are made for guiding the stream near a structure so as to confine it in a
    reasonable width of the river.
     As it was designed by Bell,it is so called as Bell’s Bund and further developed
    by spring and is known as guide bank.
     The guide bank usually consists of heavily built embankement in shape of a
    bell mouth on both sides of the channel.
     Usually one embankement is required if the other end of the bank is high and
    stable.
    Groynes or Spurs

     These are the structres constructed transverse to the river flow.


     It extends from the bank into the river upto a limit.
     These groyns are also known as spurs, dikes and transverse dikes.
    Pitched Islands

     This consists generally of a sand core pitched with boulders along its side and
    slopes.
     These structures are protected at the toe by a falling apron.
     Pitched island cause redistribution of velocity and tractive force.
     These are useful in improving the channel for navigation purposes.
    Bank Protection

     It includes any protection work that aims at maintain the stability of land
    against the action of water.
     The purpose of bank protection is to save the banks from furies of flood.
     Methods of Bank Protection includes vegetation cover and low growth of
    shrubs, Stone revetment or various types of mattrsesses willow, lumber or
    asphalt or articulated concrete.
