... wavelength (L m ), meander amplitude and meander belt width are measured on GIS platform at five meander loops along the lower stretch of river Raidak-I. The conceptual model of different properties of meander is presented in Fig. 2b . Radius of curvature (Rc) has been measured by using the method formerly...

... is known for its frequent channel shifts ( Hazarika et al., 2015 ). The river experienced major shift in its bankline during the floods of 1988. Levee crevassing and avulsions are common in Simen ( Fig. 2b i-ii ). In a recent avulsion which took place near Somkong in 2013, Simen captured Narad river...

... which indicate the spatial and temporal variation of the centerline of the Mahaweli River. Equations 1, 2, and 3 present the formulations for centerline arc-length (s i ), inflection angle (θ i ), and curvature (c i ) at two successive points. More information on these formulations can be found...
