ABSTRACT
In many practical cases, huge amount of money is spent in elimination of vegetation in the river reach for the purpose of riparian safety. The conservation of vegetation must be supplemented by adequate riparian safety. An analytical model is developed in this paper to take care of submerged as well as unsubmerged vegetation and this concept is incorporated in the hydraulic simulation. The conclusion is highly important for the planners regarding flood control as it is seen that random removal of vegetation is not the solution. Clear suggestion towards planned vegetation (which means selection of the vegetation with appropriate shape and roughness in the vertical direction of plant) is made
