ABSTRACT
Remote Sensing and GIS provide a solid geospatial data foundation, which
is suitable for addressing questions on choosing the best sites of dams. To
accomplish this, there is a need to understand geospatial processes of
gathering, organizing and analyzing data using Remote Sensing (RS) and GIS.
On the other hand, theoretical and practical backgrounds are needed to
understand linkages, relationships and thresholds that allow faster
identification of the study area. DEMs are essential for topographic
characterization by representing land surface, hydrological boundaries and
terrain attributes, such as slope and aspect.
In this work it has been studied for the generation of Digital Elevation
Model (DEM) and the resulted DEM is used to generate the Orthoimage and
to demark the land use/ land cover features and also for drainage pattern for
the catchment area of hydro project.
Key words: GIS, Remote Sensing; DEM and Orthoimage.

1. INTRODUCTION
Information, such as Digital Elevation Model (DEM), land use and drainage pattern
for the catchment area plays an important role in dam site selection, which can be
gathered from remotely sensed images. In particular, slopes analysis the data
extracted from DEM are useful for many hydrological studies and can be employed

for dam location selection. Furthermore, a limited effort has been devoted in recent
years to determine the capability of these techniques in assisting engineering dam
design by allowing efficient, quick and economic data collection [1, 2]. However, the
application of remote sensing in ephemeral streams is limited compared with
permanent rivers [3].
2.1. GeoEye-1:
GeoEye-1, which set the standard for sub-half meter high resolution commercial
satellite imagery.
GeoEye-1, the highest resolution and most advanced commercial imaging satellite in
the world, offers unprecedented spatial resolution.
It creates this accuracy by simultaneously acquiring 0.41-meter panchromatic and
1.65-meter multispectral imagery [5].
The satellite can collect up to 700,000 square kilometers of panchromatic imagery per
day (and up to 350,000 square kilometers of pan-sharpened multispectral imagery).
Input data: Control points GCP, toposheets, Geo Eye Data.

5. DRAINAGE
The study area located south of the eastern Himalayas, comprises the Brahmaputra
Valley and the Barak river valleys along with the Karbi Anglong and the North
Cachar Hills with an area of 30,285 square miles (78,438 km2) region representing
mountains and thick forest regions. Drainage patterns are the design formed by the
aggregate of drainage ways in an area regardless of whether they are occupied by
permanent streams (Howard, 1967) reflecting the surface and subsurface conditions.
Figure 6 Shows the Drainage pattern of the proposed area and Figure 7 shows the
Superimpose of drainage map on DEM
