The analyses of migration patterns and rates over time the mapping of Channel Migration Zones (CMZ) and are vital geomorphologic activities for policy making and management of riparian land uses in a river valley system. In this study, an assessment of recent (2006 – 2021) Lateral Channel Migration of a segment of River Digil was conducted. The study focused on assessing the nature and magnitudes of lateral channel migration of the Digil River in the recent times, mapping out the CMZ and ascertaining the present and future implications of the channel migration process on the riparian land uses.
