초록

Natural shifting of rivers has been disturbed by anthropological activities. Urbanization in Kathmandu has been encroached the natural floodplain of Bagmati and currently channeled by training walls. The study compares the change in shape of Dhobikhola, a small tributary using 1966 and 2014 satellite images. It has been found that the original shape is heavily changed over time at the beginning and end section of river under study. The river width is now fixed by training walls and roads along the banks. Using multiple data sets like satellite images and GIS analysis, these shifts can be easily detected to plan for management and restoration of physical and ecological behaviors of rivers.
