Which of the following river training works is constructed on the upstream side of the diversion site to control the submergence of land due to rise in high flood level?

  • A.Bed pitching
  • B.River proper
  • C.Marginal bund
  • D.Spur

Answer: C

A marginal bund is the river training work built along the banks on the upstream side of a diversion site (a weir or barrage) to prevent the land from being flooded when the high flood level rises because of the structure. Bed pitching protects the bed against scour, a spur is built out from a bank to deflect the current away from it, and the river proper is simply the natural river channel and not a training work.
