ABSTRACT
Remote Sensing (RS)
and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are widely used for change
detection in rivers caused by erosion and accretion. Digital image processing
techniques and GIS analysis capabilities are used for
detecting temporal variations of erosion and accretion characteristics between
the years 1999 and 2011 in a 40 km long Marala Alexandria reach of River
Chenab. Landsat satellite images for the years 1999, 2007 and 2011 were
processed to analyze the river channel migration, changes in the river width
and the rate of erosion and accretion. Analyses showed that the right bank was
under erosion in both time spans, however high rate of deposition is exhibited
in middle reaches. The maximum erosion was 1569843 m2 and
1486160 m2 along the right bank at a
distance of 24-28 km downstream of the Marala barrage in the time span of
1999-2007 and 2007-2011, respectively. Along right bank mainly there is trend
of accretion but erosion is much greater between 20 and 28 km reach. Maximum
accretion was 5144584 m2 from
1999-2007 and 2950110 m2 from
2007-2011 on the right bank downstream of the Marala Barrage. The derived
results of channel migration were validated by comparing with SRTM data
to assess the accuracy of image classification. Integration of remote sensing
data with GIS is efficient and economical technique to assess land
losses and channel changes in large rivers.

ABSTRAK
Pengesanan Jarak Jauh (RS)
dan Sistem Maklumat Geografi (GIS) digunakan secara meluas untuk
mengesan perubahan di sungai-sungai yang disebabkan oleh hakisan
dan tokokan. Keupayaan teknik pemprosesan imej digital dan analisis
GIS digunakan
untuk mengesan variasi temporal hakisan dan tokokan antara tahun
1999 dan 2011 di sepanjang 40 km rantau Marala Alexandria di Sungai
Chenab. Imej satelit Landsat bagi tahun 1999, 2007 dan 2011 telah
diproses untuk analisis migrasi aliran sungai tersebut, perubahan
dalam lebar sungai serta kadar hakisan dan tokokan. Analisis menunjukkan
tebing di sebelah kanan terhakis pada kedua-dua tempoh masa, walau
bagaimanapun kadar pemendapan yang tinggi ditunjukkan pada rantau
pertengahan. Hakisan maksimum ialah 1569843 m2
dan 1486160 m2 di sepanjang tebing kanan pada
jarak 24-28 km di hilir baraj Marala masing-masing dalam jangka
masa 1999-2007 dan 2007-2011. Terdapat trend tokokan terutamanya
di sepanjang tebing kanan tetapi hakisan adalah lebih besar antara
jarak 20-28 km. Tokokan maksimum ialah 5144584 m2 dari 1999-2007 dan 2950110 m2
2007-2011 di tebing kanan hilir baraj Marala. Keputusan
migrasi aliran yang diperoleh telah disahkan dengan membandingkannya
dengan data SRTM untuk
menilai ketepatan pengelasan imej. Integrasi data pengesanan jarak
jauh dengan GIS
adalah teknik yang cekap dan ekonomi untuk menilai
kehilangan tanah dan perubahan aliran di sungai-sungai besar.
