Abstracts: The term river bank protection implies various measures adopted on a river to stabilize the river channel along a certain alignment with a certain cross-section. The main objectives of river bank protection are to protect the bank from erosion and improve the alignment by stabilizing the river channel, to provide a safe passage to flood discharge without overflowing to the banks for a protection of cultivated or inhabited area and to provide minimum depth of flow and a good course for navigation purposes. There are many types of river bank protection works like Vegetation, Windrows and Trenches, Sacks and Blocks, Gabions and Mattresses, Retaining Wall and many other possible. In this project we are going to design retaining wall as a river bank protection work for Tapi river stretch. The expected outcome of this project may be River Bank Protection by retaining wall will reduce maximum soil erosion at the time of High Flood and Residential area near Tapi river will become more safe in case of increase in water level.
