Assessing the tendency of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in the river watersheds enables a better understanding of the hydromorphological properties of its basins and the associated processes. In addition, analyzing this trend is essential to address several important issues such as erosion, water pollution, human health risks, etc. Therefore, it is critical to determine a proper method to quantify spatio-temporal variability in SSC. In recent years, remote sensing and GIS technologies are being widely applied to support scientists, researchers, and environmental resource investigators to quickly and synchronously capture information on a large scale. The combination of remote sensing and GIS data will become the reliable and timely updated data source for the managers, researchers on many fields. There are several tools, software, algorithms being used in extracting information from satellites and support for the analysis, image interpretation, data collection. The information from satellite images related to water resources includes vegetational cover, flooding events on a large scale, rain forecast, population distribution, forest fire, landslide movements, sedimentation, etc., and especially information on water quality, sediment concentration. This paper presents the initial result from LANDSAT satellite image interpretation to investigate the amount of sediment carried downstream of the Ba river basin.
