Abstract :
Fluvial geomorphology is a sub–discipline of geomorphology that investigates how flowing water shapes and modifies
Earth‘s surface through erosional and depositional processes. In the present paper an attempt has been made to study the
fluvial geomorphology of the Sirohi and Abu Road blocks of Sirohi district, Rajasthan. The study area has five major rivers namely West Banas
(Abu Road block) and Krishnavati, Kameri, Kapal Ganga and Bandi (Sirohi block) which are having dendritic type of drainage pattern. A large
number of fluvial geomorphic features have been recorded in the study area which have been developed both by erosional and depositional
processes. These include: floodplain, river valley, ravine, meander, confluence, terraces, natural levee, aided stream, riffle, gully, pot holes,
plunge pool, cut bank, stream pool, point bar, mid–channel bar, transverse bar, side bar towhead etc.
