Application of Geosynthetics in River Valley Projects has been gaining momentum all over the world in the recent past. The Geosynthetics have many applications in the construction of dam embankments, canals, approach roads, runways, railway embankments, retaining walls, slope protection works, drainage works etc. The use of Geosynthetics in River Valley Projects in India and other countries has been reported to be considerably improved the strength and permeability characteristics of even problematic soils viz. expansive soils, dispersive soils etc. The paper presents a brief over-view of the applications of Geosynthetics in River Valley Projects besides few cases histories.
