River bank erosion is a natural process, but when it becomes severe or accelerated due to human activities or environmental changes, it can create significant issues and challenges. The present chapter deals with current problems of bank erosion: (a) vital wetland areas along riverbanks may disappear, impacting species that rely on them; (b) erosion can destroy habitats for biota, affecting the ecological balance; (c) farmers lose arable land along rivers, leading to reduced agricultural productivity; and (d) houses and other iinfrastructures built close to rivers may be undermined or destroyed. Almost all of the rural residents of West Bengal rely on agriculture for their livelihood. They must wait for a productive piece of land for a long period and are unable to take action against riverbank erosion. Their goal is to keep their precious, productive land from being lost. The goal of this work is to concentrate on that management issue. In a tiny area of West Bengal's drought-prone Bankura District, the primary goal is to demonstrate the loss of homestead and agricultural land as a result of riverbank erosion of the Dwarakeswar River.
