Monitoring water quality and quantity is essential for sustainable water resource management. This study investigates changes in the extent and water quality of Kaptai Lake using remote sensing, field measurements, and laboratory analysis. Analysis of Landsat TM/OLI images from 1989, 2000, 2010, and 2021 shows that the lake's water extent ranges fr...

Bhasan Char has undergone noteworthy transformations in its geographical characteristics since its emergence in 2003. Driven by sediment transported by the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna river system, the island has gradually transitioned from a stretched-out configuration to a more rounded shape primarily due to continuous accretion, while erosion has...

Landslide is a common hazardous phenomenon in Bangladesh’s hilly areas, and Khagrachari is one of the regions that face frequent causalities due to landslide events.

The prime objective is to assess the spatiotemporal changes of water quality and water quantity of the Dhaka city lakes respectively using Sentinel 2B and Landsat satellite images. The study cover...

Water scarcity in the hill tract districts of Bangladesh becomes acute in the dry season as most of the streams, the primary source of water, dry up. However, groundwater, where available, can supply water throughout the year. In this study, a total of 37 water samples were collected and analyzed from shallow (34) and deep (3) wells in Khagrachhari...

The study examined the spatiotemporal variability of land use/land cover changes (LULC), land surface temperature (LST), and heat island (HI) in northwestern Bangladesh. Landsat images were used for evaluating LULC, LST, and HI for the years 1990, 2002, 2014, and 2018. Unsupervised and index-based classification approaches were used for mapping LUL...

Droughts are very common in Bangladesh especially in the northwestern part, due to geographical position, variation in Groundwater table, and the spatial variation in seasonal rainfall pattern. In the present study, three drought indices viz., Vegetation Health Index (VHI), Temperature Vegetation Dryness Index (TVDI), and Shortwave Infrared Dryness...

Three major successive plinian or subplinian eruptions, following a long dormant period, occurred in January 2011, September 2017, and March 2018 within the Kirishima volcano complex on Kyushu Island, Japan. Herein, we applied a Landsat 8 image to explore the most active hydrothermal altered area of the Kirishima volcano complex, and nine sets of n...

Rapid urbanization, industrialization, and development activities are posing numerous threats to the rivers of Bangla-desh. In the recent decade, Turag River has been exposed to severe threats due to anthropogenic activities. The present research deals with the evaluation of water quantity-quality, landuse and landcover (LULC), and land surface tem...

The work has been conducted with a view to examining the spatio-temporal variability of landuse-landcover (LULC) and its relationship with land surface temperature (LST) which helps in the development of heat island (HI) in the study area with the use of multi-spectral satellite images. Twelve sets of multi-spectral Landsat TM/ ETM+/OLI/TIRS images...

Bangladesh is a low lying flat country with huge inland water bodies, including some of the biggest rivers in the world which are extremely vulnerable because of its geographical characteristics and rapid development activities. Turag River is an important river in the northwest part of Dhaka city, where one of the major industrial belts has been b...

Buriganga River, the study area, is one of the most polluted and decreasing expeditiously its area in Bangladesh due to rapid urbanization, effluents of industries and factories surrounding the river, sewage disposal from Dhaka City and some anthropogenic activities. The objective of this study is to evaluate and monitor the water quantity and qual...

The prime objective of this study is to detect changes of the biophysical resources (or landuse-landocver) of the Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf area from 1999 to 2015 using Landsat TM/ETM+/OLI sensors images after applying classifications and indices approaches. The normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) result showed that water bodies reduced by abo...

Bangladesh is a low-lying riverine country with the mighty Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna (GBM) major river system including their abundant tributaries and distributaries. Land erosion–accretion is a very common phenomenon in this riverine country. This process extensively erodes huge productive landmasses at the river confluence zones every year. The m...

This work has been conducted to evaluate the water quality of the Buriganga river. In situ water quality parameters and water samples were collected from 10 locations in January 2016 and analyzed later in laboratory for water quality parameters such as pH, Eh, EC, TDS, cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2, As3+), anions (Cl-, HCO3-, NO2-, NO3-, SO42-, F-, B...

Dhaka, the 10th largest megacity of the world, is facing severe shortages of water despite receiving an annual rainfall in access of 2000 mm/year. Unplanned urban development due to rapid population growth has been the cause of encroachment on retention and natural drainage areas creating obstacles to natural recharge to the aquifers beneath the ci...

The lithologic composition and grain size distribution of sediments are primary determinants of their inherent reflectance properties. However, moisture content is also known to have a strong influence on reflectances of soils and sediments. If the effects of sediment composition, grain size and moisture content could be distinguished spectrally, i...
