IIT Guwahati's new invention aims to revolutionise sustainable river management
Researchers during their field survey in Brahmaputra River

Guwahati: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati) have collaborated with the Brahmaputra Board, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India, to introduce an innovative river model named BRAHMA-2D (Braided River Aid: Hydro-Morphological Analyzer).

This indigenous mathematical model aims to be a breakthrough in understanding the flow dynamics of large braided rivers, with a specific focus on the Brahmaputra River.

The BRAHMA-2D model is designed to assist in designing sustainable hydraulic structures such as Spurs, Revetments, and river bank protection measures. It provides valuable insights into the intricate flow patterns of rivers, particularly addressing challenges in predicting variations in river flow across different depths.
