		The Brahmaputra river is characterised by high intensity flood flows during the monsoon season, June through September, with an average annual flood discharge of 48160m3s-1.

		The floodplain of the Brahmaputra river in Assam is dotted with a large number of wetlands, numbering more than 3500, which have great significance as unique habitats for exquisite varieties of flora and fauna and also as natural flood water retension basins.

		Around one million people have been rendered homeless due to river erosion in the country over the last three decades as the mighty Brahmaputra-Jamuna continues to widen due to decrease in its depth for heavy rush of sediments from the upstream and poor erosion management in the downstream.
		At present, from 100 to 500 metres of land is being eroded from both banks of the river due to lack of river training," said Professor M Monowar Hossain, who conducted the research identifying three causes of expanding width of the Brahmaputra-Jamuna.
		The river also gets widened as it has less slope and carries most of the sediment at bottom level in the water, he added.

		Although the long-term implications of reduced dry-season flows in the Ganges are catastrophic, both for the survival of river dolphins and a major portion of the world's human population that inhabits the Ganges basin, the cumulative effects of reduced water supplies have received little attention.
		River dolphins may be particularly vulnerable to industrial pollution because their habitat in counter-current pools downstream of confluences and sharp meanders often places them in close proximity to point sources in major urban areas (e.g., Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, Calcutta, and Dhaka).
