    Flood plains are built by alluviation This happens during floods In tamer rivers of Europe and N America floods at 80% bank height in 50 years In monsoon Himalayan rivers? Indus estimate 10 m. silt in 5000 yrs.

    Information

    Not available in the public domain Restrictions on topographic data Red tape on river, climate and other thematic data No window Bigger budget, more hurry

    Geomorphologists

    Whether from geology or geography approach Have these as low priority Role of academics Role of professional agencies Still talking only to each other
