Fluctuation of water velocity — from 4 m/s (14 km/h; 8.9 mph) during flood season to 0.2 m/s (0.72 km/h; 0.45 mph) during dry seasons; High silt load - Ganges carries around 1,600 million tonnes of silt annually; Shoal and island formation leading to splitting of main channel; Changes to navigation line due to the lateral migration of the river
In addition, the length of meanders can change significantly over time due to natural or artificial cutoffs, when a new channel cuts across a narrow strip of land, bypassing a large river bend.
