1.>It observes that it is impossible to apply a “one-size-fits-all? approach to sediment management and control because of regionally-specific issues like topography, river control structures, soil and water conservation measures, tree cover, and riparian land-use or land disturbance having impact on sediment loads in rivers. 2.>It has recommended to -
3.>Catchment Area Treatment and Watershed Development works, along with good agricultural practices and river bank protection are necessary to reduce silt inflow. 4.>Instead of “keeping the silt away”, strategy to “giving the silt way” should be adopted. 5.>In case where constriction is causing large scale siltation, de-siltation along the preselected channel to deepen and attract the flow could be tried to guide the main course of flow. 6.>De-silting of the confluence points, especially with huge silt carrying tributaries, such as Ghagra, Sone, etc., may be necessary to make confluence hydraulically efficient. 7.>The Ganga Flood Control Commission should be entrusted with additional mandate to carry out necessary studies on sediment management in river Ganga.
Challenges The de-siltation may result into some adverse impacts like River bed degradation, Bank erosion, Channel widening, lowering of water surface elevations etc. This should be prevented to the maximum extent.
