Dudhia | Balason River

WI_in100.jpg

View from the Dudhia Bridge in northern direction (upstream) to the apex of the alluvial fan of Balason River. The coarse, unsorted, and incompletely rounded gravel in the river bed indicates active morphodynamics in the catchment, with material rapidly transported downstream through flooding or even debris flows. Such events also put the village and the bridge at risk. Technical protection measures can be seen in the lower right portion of the photograph.
