Hydro-Geomorphological Study of the Bhogdoi River Basin, Assam : A Remote Sensing and GIS Approach

The multidisciplinary study of the studied river basin is expected to be helpful for hydrologists as well as to the geomorphologists. The Bhogdoi River represents a unique example of highly unstable drainage system. The study of this behaviour will add some information about the other less known similar drainage system. The maps for the river basins will be very useful during the planning of flood management programme, as the concentration of flood reducing efforts in the sub-basins having higher hydrological response will provide better results. Overall, this integrated approach (hydro-geomorphic approach) for flood understanding will be much helpful for flood management programme in a river basin.
