Abstract

Using remote sensing and GIS technique, we analyse the change detection of different land use/land cover (LULC) types that has taken place in Puthimari river basin during a two-decade period from 1999 to 2019. Supervised classification method with maximum likelihood algorithm have been applied to prepare the LULC maps. The LULC change detection has been performed employing a post-classification detection method. Puthimari is a north bank sub-catchment of River Brahmaputra, the northern part of which falls in Bhutan and the rest falls in the Assam state of India. The primary LULC types of the basin are, dense vegetation which is predominant in the upper catchment, crop land and rural settlement. Thus, five different classes have been considered for the analysis, viz., dense vegetation, water bodies, silted water, cropland and rural settlement. The results showed that the rural settlement and water bodies in the basin increased by 42.70% and 30.31% from 1999 to 2019. However, dense vegetation, silted water and cropland decreased by 9.24%, 27.47% and 28.10% during these two decades.
