SEDIMENTATION STUDY ON RANAPRATAP SAGAR RESERVOIR USING REMOTE SENSING DATA- A CASE STUDY

Jain Satish Kumar

Abstract :

The reservoirs of the world suffer with sedimentation problem and their capacities reduce due to sedimentation hence they do not serve the required purpose. Periodic monitoring and studies are carried out to solve the problem of sedimentation through sustainable operation and management. In this study a remote sensing technique has been used for the evaluation of sediment deposition and capacity of RanapratapSagar Reservoir, Rajsthan, India. The principle of reduction in water surface areas as sedimentation goes on increasing is used to estimate the present capacity of the reservoir.  Three cloud free satellite imageries of the year 2011–12, covering water spread area of RanapratapSagar Reservoir provided by Resourcessat–1: LISS III were used to evaluate the water surface areas with the help of Arc/GIS10.1 software. Results show that the live storage capacity has increased by 14.23 Mm³ in 40 years. This increase may be due to scouring in live storage zone.
