Abstract
Determination of costs pertaining to stabilization of the caving banks of an alluvial river is not particularly difficult, but realistic appraisal of resultant benefits presents some interesting problems in both the physical and accounting fields. In the latter, comparison of total benefits during the life of a bank stabilization project with total costs during the same period is suggested as possibly being a better criterion of economic merit than the ratio between annual “equivalent” benefits and annual costs if interest rates pertaining to benefits differ materially from those pertaining to costs. In the physical field, gradually changing patterns of land use, and growth in population and industrial development challenge the adequacy of losses experienced in past decades as a criterion of futre benefits from prevention of continued bank recession.
