“…It should be noted that fluvial sediments are transported to Bangladesh from upstream source areas, and therefore studies on sediment dynamics need to describe the sediment connectivity and transportation pathways at a watershed scale. Researches on sediment connectivity and hydrological connectivity are growing rapidly in different hydro-geomorphic setting across the world at various spatial and temporal scales, which includes 26 different countries including the Ganges basin in India (Cavalli et al 2013;Najafi et al 2021;Mishra et al 2019;Swarnkar et al 2020). However, such studies have not been carried out yet in the downstream basins in Bangladesh, which is a sink area connected to the large upstream basins of the Ganges-Brahmaputra river system and highly prone to repeated sediment disasters.…”

“…Integrating sediment connectivity and stream power index with morphometric data from these two basins, Swarnkar et al . (2020) have demonstrated that the WGP rivers are supply‐limited systems while those of the EGP are transport‐limited systems.…”

“…We argue that the longitudinal sediment connectivity in the river systems at short as well as long timescale has played an important role in shaping the landscape variability in the Ganga plains. More recent work by Swarnkar et al (2020) on the structural component of the lateral and longitudinal sediment connectivity for the systems of the Ganga basin has demonstrated that sediment connectivity is higher in the upper Ganga basin in WGP compared to the upper Kosi basin in EGP. Integrating sediment connectivity and stream power index with morphometric data from these two basins, Swarnkar et al (2020) have demonstrated that the WGP rivers are supply-limited systems while those of the EGP are transport-limited systems.…”

“…are now being engaged in a GIS environment (e.g., Harvey & Eash, 1996;Mesa, 2006;Rai et al, 2017;Rajasekhar et al, 2020;Resmi et al, 2019;Saha et al, 2017;Thomas et al, 2012), which are different from the conventional methods (Horton, 1945;Strahler, 1952Strahler, , 1964. Morphometry of any drainage basin or river system fundamentally focuses on the mathematical quantification of the physiography and hydro-geomorphic evolution of the drainage or river basin (Clarke, 1966;Swarnkar et al, 2020). This form of drainage basin analysis is very essential in the development of an integrated understanding of i) the hydro-geomorphic systems of the basin (Swarnkar et al, 2020;Yang & Shi, 2017); ii) the geomorphic response of the basin to various processes and their driving factors (Bahrami et al, 2020;Gregory & Walling, 1968); iii) the assessment of tectonically controlled landscapes (Pedrera, Pérez-Peña, Galindo-Zaldívar, Azañόn & Azor, 2009;Bahrami et al, 2020;Faghih & Nourbakhsh, 2015;Rahimzadesh et al, 2019); iv) the quantitative evaluation of sediment yields, and the relationship between the sediment yields records and the river basins (Ludwig & Probst, 1998;Verstraeten & Poesen, 2001); and, v) anthropogenic impacts of humans on the basins and that of the basins on human societies (Keller & Pinter, 2002).…”
