Meander.ppt
This document discusses meandering river systems. It describes how meanders form through the erosion of the outer bank and deposition on the inner bank, creating sinuous bends in the channel over time. Key features of meandering rivers discussed include point bars, natural levees, crevasse splays, and oxbow lakes. The document also covers the helical flow processes responsible for erosion and deposition patterns in meander bends and defines the different facies deposits found in meandering river channels.
Melting Of Glaciers By Smita & Shruti
Glaciers are large masses of snow and ice that accumulate over time under their own weight and slowly flow outward. They are formed from accumulating snow, and their lower layers crack as they move due to their great size and weight. It is normal for glaciers to melt gradually as temperatures rise, but many glaciers today are melting faster than snow can replenish them, reducing their sizes and contributing to rising sea levels. There are different types of glaciers including alpine, continental, and valley glaciers.
sedimentary environment (fluvial channel)
This document outlines the key aspects of fluvial channels and deposits. It discusses the origin and stages of river development from mountainous sources. The main forms of fluvial channels are straight, anastomosing, braided, and meandering, with braided bars and point bars being the main deposits. Fluvial deposits have economic importance as aquifers, reservoirs, and hosts for minerals like gold. In conclusion, the presentation covered the origin, forms, deposits, and economic value of fluvial systems.
Deltaic Systems
Deltaic systems form where rivers enter standing bodies of water. They include a mixture of fluvial and marine processes. Deltas can be recognized by thick accumulations of terrigenous sediment that interfinger with fluvial deposits inland and marine deposits basinward. As river flow enters standing water, it loses velocity and deposits coarse material in channel-mouth bars, diverting multiple smaller channels that build the delta outward. Estuarine systems form in drowned river valleys during marine transgression or early regression, and are dominated by fluvial and tidal processes on a smaller scale than deltas.
Diversion head works ajitha miss
1. Diversion headworks are structures constructed across rivers to divert water into canals. They raise the water level in the river and regulate the water supply to the canal.
2. The key components of diversion headworks include weirs or barrages, divide walls, fish ladders, approach channels, undersluices, silt excluders, and river training works. Common types of weirs are masonry weirs, rockfill weirs, and concrete weirs.
3. Weirs are designed to withstand seepage and subsurface flow, which can cause failures through piping, uplift pressure, or scouring. Design theories like Bligh's creep theory and Khos
Irrigation
This chapter discusses irrigation structures at the head of canals, known as diversion head works. The objectives of diversion head works are to raise water levels, form storage areas, control silt and water level fluctuations. The key components discussed are weirs, barrages, under-sluices, divide walls, river training works like guide banks and spurs/groynes, fish ladders, and silt regulation works. Weirs are distinguished from barrages based on how ponding is achieved. Typical layouts of head works and structures like concrete, masonry and rock-fill weirs are presented.
Stages Of A River
The document describes a watercourse divided into three sections: an upper course, a middle course, and a lower course. The upper course is at the top, the middle course is in the middle, and the lower course is at the bottom.
The Geography of Rivers
Junior Cert Geography slides on rivers - formation, processes at work, features and how humans use rivers
Causes Of River Floods
The document discusses hydrographs and flooding. It defines key terms like hydrograph, lag time, and discharge. It explains that hydrographs show the relationship between precipitation and river discharge over time. Lag time is the delay between peak rainfall and peak river flow. Short lag times mean water enters the river quickly, while long lag times mean it enters more slowly. Factors that influence lag time, like impermeable surfaces, slopes and vegetation, are also outlined.
How Do Rivers Shape The Land
Rivers shape the land through erosion and deposition as they flow from their sources downstream. In the upper course near the source, the river erodes steep V-shaped valleys due to its high gradient and velocity. In the middle course, meanders and oxbox lakes form as the river erodes the outside of bends and deposits sediment inside bends. In the lower course near the mouth, floodplains and deltas form as the river's velocity decreases and it deposits large amounts of sediment.
River Features Map Task
Rivers create landforms through three main processes:
1) Erosion, such as hydraulic action, abrasion, and attrition which help form landforms like V-shaped valleys, waterfalls, and interlocking spurs in the upper course.
2) Transportation of material which leads to deposition and the formation of landforms like point bars inside river meanders in the middle course.
3) Deposition which is prominent in the lower course, creating large floodplains and deltas near the river mouth.
River training works lecture
1. River training works include guide banks, marginal banks, spurs, and pitched islands that are constructed upstream of barrages and weirs. This is to ensure the river flows through the structure and to protect upstream lands and property from submergence.
2. Marginal banks are embankments on both sides of the river that maintain the river channel and prevent submergence of upstream areas. Spurs are fortified embankments built transverse to the banks that control the river's course and protect banks from erosion. Pitched islands artificially redistribute the river's force and sediment to attract and hold the channel.
Rivers
Rivers go through three stages as they flow from their source to the sea - youthful, mature, and old. In the youthful stage, the fast-moving river erodes the landscape, creating V-shaped valleys, interlocking spurs, and waterfalls. During the mature stage, the river transports eroded material and deposits it, forming wider valleys, meanders, and flood plains. In the slow-moving old stage, deposition creates features like ox-bow lakes, levees, and deltas at the river's mouth. Rivers have long been important to people for transportation, water, and more recently, power generation through hydroelectric dams.
River engineering
This document discusses river engineering and types of river training works. It describes guide bank systems, groynes/spurs, and different types of groynes used to control river flows, including permeable tree groynes and pile groynes. The key factors in designing groynes are discussed, such as their length, materials used, and how they can be configured to attract, deflect, or repel river flows and sedimentation. Different specialized groynes are also introduced, such as hockey-shaped, T-headed, and inverted L-shaped groynes.
Irrigation Channels
Okay, let me solve this step-by-step:
Given:
Discharge of canal (Q) = 50 cumec
Let's assume:
Bed width (B) = x meters
Depth of water (D) = y meters
Cross-sectional area (A) = B*D + 1.5D^2
Wetted perimeter (P) = B + 3.6D
Hydraulic mean depth (R) = A/P
From the economical section condition:
R = D/2
Equating the two expressions of R and solving:
(B*D + 1.5D^2) / (B + 3
Canal irrigation
This presentation discusses about the different types of canals and and also different components of canals.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
