Abstract:
The spatial dynamics of the river for the period of 37 years has been analyzed by using GIS and RS tool. The entrenchment ratio is a major to understand the flow dynamics of the river where the observations are the ratio of flood prone width and bankfull width. The MSS 1975 data revealed that the river fall under the category of sinuous at a downstream length from 650 to 700 km and the TM 1989 imaginary also reveals that the river is sinuous and the ETM 2009 imaginary reveals that again the river is moving towards sinuous. At each observation point, there is a decrease in the flood prone width and bankfull width is identified due to sedimentation process of the river. Our study indicates that remotely sense data can be used successfully to define basic characteristics of the river.
