Sediment particles originating from soil erosion processes in the catchment are propagated along with the river flow. The sediment settles in the reservoir, when the flow of a river is stored in a reservoir and reduces its capacity. Reduction in the storage capacity of a reservoir beyond a limit hampers the purpose for which it was designed. Hence assessment of sediment deposition becomes very important for the management and operation of such reservoirs. Some conventional methods, such as hydrographic survey and inflow outflow approaches, are used for estimation of sedimentation in a reservoir, but these methods are cumbersome, time consuming and expensive.There is a need for developing simple methods, which require less time and are cost effective. Present study, is an attempt to estimate reservoir sedimentation and capacity loss by using Remote Sensing Technique. This study has been done by a detailed research and analysis of some papers written by well known researchers in the above field.
