ABSTRACT

River bank erosion is one of the frequent but the most unpredictable disasters that occur every year in Bangladesh. In this paper, Landsat TM-5 and Landsat-8 imageries from 1989 and 2015 were used to detect changes of present land use, river erosion and bar deposition in Chowhali Upazila, Sirajganj district of Bangladesh. This study reveals that human settlement, forest, seasonal crops and agriculture features decrease, while river coverage increases dramatically. About 1340 hectare areas have been eroded, while 630 hectares are deposited as channel bar in the study area over the last 26 years. Finally, an accuracy assessment is conducted between the test data and each land use feature. The overall classification accuracy was 97% and 98% in 1989 and 2015 respectively. Moreover, 98% accuracy is found in erosion while 97% is found in bar deposition areas.
