Abstract |
Coastal erosion being one of the most dynamic processes occurs when wind, waves and long shore currents move sand from the shore and deposits it somewhere else. This dynamic process occurring in Nethravathi-Gurpur estuary, Mulki-Pavanje estuary and Udyavara estuary over a period of time is efficiently and accurately analysed using remote sensing technique by using topographical map of 1969 and IRS image of 2000 with the aid of GIS software. The vector layers generated with the help of Arc Map software are integrated and significant changes are demarcated on the maps. On the whole the overall dynamic changes occurred in and around the estuary points of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Districts have been studied under this project. The geological pattern, meteorological parameters, salt water intrusion and aquifer characteristics of the study area are also covered under this project. |
