Reservoir sedimentation has been common phenomena in Water Resources Engineering projects globally. The excessive higher rate of reservoir sedimentation causes problem in reservoir operation and maintenance for designed life period of hydraulic structure. Kodar reservoir of district Mahasamund [CG] has been selected for reservoir sedimentation study through modern approach along with relevant ground truth and validation of field data. The Remote Sensing & GIS technique have been adapted as modern approach. The visual cum digital interpretation of IRS LISS III & IV Satellite data of path-row 102/57 has utilized. The temporal satellite data belonging to pre-monsoon and post-monsoon season for two years: October 2007 to October 2009 has revealed the status of reservoir sedimentation. The gross storage and dead storage of Kodar reservoir have been analyzed along with major governing factors. The quantification of reservoir sedimentation has assisted in annual rate determination for overall appraisal of reservoir sedimentation. The biological conservative measures for the area seem to be more appropriate due to ongoing paddy rich cultivation in Kharif and Rabi period, as being the part of �CG Bowl of Rice� towards the minimizing reservoir sedimentation.
