Abstract :
Sefidroud is one of the wateriest rivers in the north of Iran, which plays a very important role in the production of agriculture, livestock, fisheries and the supply of hydroelectric energy in Gilan province. In the current research, during the period of 2013-2020, the changes in suspended sediment concentration (SCC) were monitored using the sampling data of four sediment measuring stations on the Sefidroud River as well as Landsat 8 satellite images. For this purpose, the relationships of linear multiple regression of spectral reflectance of 7 single bands and 21 band ratios with observational SCC as well as simple, logarithmic, power and exponential linear regressions of TSM index with SCC were investigated and among the regression models, the model with the highest R2 with was SCC, it was used as the most appropriate model to prepare the map of spatial changes of SCC. The results showed that the TSM index (B4/B3 ratio) had the highest correlation with observed SCC, so that the R2 value of the exponential relationship between TSM and observed SCC was 0.74. In the following, using the mentioned exponential model, a map of spatial changes of SCC was prepared and SCC changes along the river openings were investigated. The results showed that the amount of SCC is higher in the two main branches of Sefidroud (Qezaluzen and Shahroud), but after these rivers enter the reservoir of Manjil Dam (Safiroud), the SCC values inside the reservoir decreased due to the sedimentation of SCC and its values in the downstream. The reservoir along the Sefidroud river is also less than the main branches. The findings indicate that among the two branches of Sefidroud, the Qezaluzen river with higher SCC plays a greater role in settling sediments in the reservoir of Manjil dam and reducing the storage capacity of this dam. In general, the results of this research showed that by using satellite information, especially the TSM index, it is possible to monitor SCC changes along the river at a cost and in short time intervals very efficiently.
