A review of detecting river morphological changes due to bridge construction using remote sensing techniques

Human activities exert a significant impact on aquatic environments, along with rivers and lakes. Roads, bridges, and trains exert an influence on the morphology of rivers. Consequently, it’s imperative to study these changes and reveal their outcomes on rivers and lakes. The paper review and analyze previous studies on monitoring river morphological changes using modern technologies such as remote sensing. The terrible implications come from changes in water currents, erosion, and modifications to the river or lake’s environment. This effect is clear in changes in river shift, sediment dispersion, and bank integrity, leading to massive environmental effects that need to be addressed to hold organic equilibrium and ensure the iconic viability of water assets. This literature assessment examines the use of remote sensing to look at river morphological modifications because of bridge construction. It specialises in traits, techniques, findings, and contemporary understanding. It assesses the advantages and barriers of remote sensing technology and recommends additional research to increase understanding of bridge construction and river morphology. The results indicate that human activities, together with the enhancement of avenues, bridges, and railways, had brought on sizable alterations within the morphological traits of rivers and lakes. The results, through the analysis of preceding studies, have proven the effectiveness of remote sensing techniques in tracking and analysing river morphology.
