Abstract:
The dynamics of the river is categorized in three categories viz straight, sinuous and meander. The river dynamics summarized through temporal change in entrenchment ratio and sinuosity. The spatial and temporal flow dynamics of the river is very technically analyzed by successful use of remote sensing and Geographical Information System. River Tapti has higher sinuosity on spatial basis which indicates the highly meandering nature. The flood prone width and bankfull width is increasing the area of river banks, because of landslide, erosion and sedimentation. The MSS 1975 data revealed the river fall under the category of meander while the TM 1989 imaginary reveals that the river seems to be sinuous rather than meander and the ETM 2009 imaginary reveals that again the river is moving towards meandering.
