Estimation of suspended solids using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite-IA data: a case study from Central India

Abstract The objective of this study was to use Indian Remote Sensing Satellite-IA (IRS-1A) Linear Imaging Self Scanning-I (LISS-I) digital data in combination with field measurement for the estimation of suspended solids concentration in an inland water body (reservoir). For this purpose, a small reservoir (Tawa), on the Tawa river of the Narmada basin in Central India, was studied. The Tawa reservoir water samples were collected on 28 September and 20 October 1988, concurrent with IRS-1A overpass. Reservoir water samples have been analysed to determine grain size analysis and mineralogy.
