Abstract
River geometry is very crucial for various hydrological applications. However, generation of river geometry data is cumbersome
process. DGPS, Total station and echosounder instrument are basically used to generate river bathymetry but generated datasets
is mainly in discrete format. Interpolation techniques are generally used to develop statistical surface of river bathymetry. In the
present paper, assessment of various interpolation techniques has been carried out to suggest appropriate method for bathymetry
generation. Panchganga river of Kolhapur district for a stretch of 50 km (from Balinga to Ichalkaranji) has been selected for
the present work. Forty-eight cross sections have been generated by using DGPS and Total station instrument. To generate
bathymetry of Panchganga river, some of the cross section have been used. IDW, Krigging and Topo to Raster techniques have
been used to generate river bathymetry. RMS and Standard RMS techniques are used for cross validation. The analysis reveals
that IDW is much appropriate techniques for river bathymetry generation.
