Hydrological and sediment transport characteristics for the Kosi basin, which covers parts of
Nepal and India, were analysed to understand the spatiotemporal variability of the hydrology …

Abstract Background Koshi flood of August 2008 in eastern lowlands of Nepal affected
around 2.64 million people in India and Nepal, including 65,000 people and 700 ha fertile …

Humans have utilized water resources for millennia by modifying natural river courses and
such interventions have greatly influenced not only river flows and sediment fluxes, but also …

This paper presents the results of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach for flood
risk and sediment management in dynamic alluvial fan. The study is based on real problems …

This study presents the results of sediment transport measurement in the Koshi River with a
comparison between historic and recent measurement techniques. Based on the historic …

The Koshi river is one of the most dynamic rivers in the world. It has shifted about 115 km
westward due to sedimentation and tectonic activities during the past 200 years. Dynamic …

This paper reviews performance of bank protection works constructed over the last decades
along the major rivers in Nepal. The study reveals main reasons of early spurs failure in five …

Nepal is exposed to multiple recurrent hazards. The country falls in the top 20th list of the
most multi-hazard prone countries in the world. The country is ranked 4th, 11th and 30th in …

The flow variability, sediment influx and sediment transport attribute to the morphological
changes of any river. The dynamic nature of the Koshi River results in frequent …

This thesis marks the end of my Master study of Hydraulic Engineering at Delft University of
Technology. Except for the initial stage, the study was carried out in Deltares, which …
