Abstract

In our study, Land and water surface changes in Lake Chilika from 1996 to 2014 were dileneated by using multi-temporal Landsat images and soupportsof the spectral water indexing method. In our research, we used indices i.e Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Modified NDWI (MNDWI) and Automated Water Extraction Index (AWEI). The MNDWI, NDWI and AWEI provide the best result for extracting surface waterbody and find out spatiotemporal changes of the Chilika lake .by appliing Landsat images through GIS software. The NDWI can be utilized for interpretation of the areal extent of water bodies every imageries of Land Sat data.. But,WRI and MNDWI are restricted for use only in images that have the MIR band. MNDWI provides for a sophisticated and refined estimation of the extent of surface water bodies within the Chilika lake.
