River morphology and shifting of channels for navigation
Water transport is an eco-friendly and low-cost alternative to road, especially for bulk commodities resulting in incremental benefit to the consumer in the form of reduced prices. Changes in the river morphology would ensure low cost all-season transport with enhanced channel depth, which would reduce flooding at the same time.
