Abstract
The spine of Assamâs agro-valley is the Brahmaputra River, one of the worldâs greatest rivers. However, the stability of the riverbank is negatively impacted by the riverâs temporal shifting, frequent floods, and severe erosion. One of the main natural risks in Laharighat, Morigaon district, is river bank erosion. In the northern area of the Morigaon District, several villages disintegrate completely or partially each year. In many areas of Assam, especially the Morigaon district, bank erosion of the Brahmaputra River has reached worrisome proportions. The studyâs goals are to assess the Brahmaputra Riverâs bank erosion situation in the Morigaon District of the Laharighat Circle (1986-2021). Consequently, a study on river bank erosion is conducted in the Morigaon area under the Laharighat circle of the Brahmaputra River (1986-2021). The people of the Northern Side experienced numerous issues annually as a result of bank erosion. There is a serious social and economic crisis in the impacted area as a result of the affected people leaving their home country to migrate elsewhere and the river bankâs width growing at a rate of 79.6 meters per year.
