Abstract: 1. INTRODUCTION One of the essential inputs required for effective water planning of reservoir is assessment of its present storage capacity. It is therefore essential for the irrigation manager to know the quantum of water available in the live storage zone. Remote sensing technique for reservoir sedimentation surveys is essentially based on mapping of water-spread areas at the time of satellite over pass. It uses the fact that water-spread area of the reservoir reduces with the sedimentation at different levels. The parameters namely water-spread area and the elevation information are used to calculate the volume of water stored between different levels. These capacity values are then compared with the previously calculated capacity values to find out change in capacity between different levels.
