A thirty eight year study of channel characteristics of a regulated and an unregulated river.
Floods of large magnitude drive bank movement, erosion and deposition pattern of the regulated system.
Annual average discharge drives erosion and deposition of the unregulated river.
Relationship between bank curvature and erosion and accretion of both rivers contradicts with established meander theory.
Entrapment of sediment at a large barrage accounts for anomalous downstream behaviour on the regulated river.
