Full TextAbstract
The Karoun River with about 900 km length and 84000-km2 catchment’s area is the longest and greatest river of Iran. Intense erodability of riverbank makes vastly economical damages and numerous legal difficulties for the owner of the lands. In this study, on the basis of several criteria such as soil texture, presence and absence of retaining structures and vegetation coverage around the river, the areas exposed to the erosion have been evaluated. Moreover, using aerial photographs of different years the rate of erosion in the different portions of the river has been assessed.
