Point Bars (2)

are crescent-shaped deposits of sediment that accumulate on the inside bend of streams and rivers below the slip-off slope. They are composed of sediment that is well-sorted and typically reflect the overall capacity of the stream.

  • build on '“stilts”

  • use flood walls

  • levee

  • create drainage paths/ retention ponds

  • Dams

  • channelization
