The River Jiabharali carries substantial quantity of silt along with discharge of 4429.73 cumec. Due to deposition of sediments, the sand chars forms in the river bed at random, creates spill channels making bank erosion more vulnerable. River Jiabharali has a natural gradient to shift its courses towards the western side and there is formation of offshoot channels after each flood, thereby widening its waterway and making the problem more intense. This paper describes the case study where Geosynthetics materials and Gabions are used in erosion and flood protection measures at Right and Left Bank of Jiabharali River in the Sonitpur District of Assam. Protection measures at Right Bank covers vulnerable reach from Ch: 9490 m (Dikoraijan) to 14397 m (Kurukani) and protection measures at Left Bank covers vulnerable reach from Chillanipam (Ch. 238 km) to Orangbasti (Ch. 245 km). The laboratory investigations undertaken for Geosynthetics materials and Gabions for the above project are presented in this paper along with advantages of using Geosynthetics materials.
