"Integrated Geospatial Solutions for Enhanced Kukadi River Basin Delineation using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques"

Abstract

This study offers an innovative approach to enhance the precision and accuracy of the delineation of the Kukadi River Basin by integrating cutting-edge geospatial technologies, particularly Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) methods. Due to its varied topography and land cover, the Kukadi River Basin play a crucial hydrological entity in the area which presents difficulties for standard delineation techniques. High-resolution satellite imagery is used in the study to provide exact information on land cover in the Kukadi River Basin. The work aims to extract comprehensive land cover data by utilizing spectral analysis and image classification techniques, which are part of RS. In order to improve the delineation of the Basin borders, this data is seamlessly integrated with GIS spatial analytic tools, which also incorporate digital elevation models, slope, and other terrain metrics. The research findings demonstrate the possibility of combining RS and GIS technology to overcome the challenges associated with varying terrains, hence furthering the improvement of Basin delineation approaches. The results provide a useful and dependable paradigm for defining river Basin in a variety of geographical contexts, which is important for water resource management, Environmental Conservation, Land use planning, decision-makers, researchers, and practitioners working on hydrological studies.
