The study investigated changes in channel planforms of River Kaduna. Topographic maps were complimented with Mosaic of SPOT 5 satellite and Sentinel-2 images. Results showed that except for sinuosity index and channel length, channel width, braiding and channel migration exhibited considerable changes. These changes were evident in reduced velocity and stream energy, the type of sediment being transported, the silt materials being transported in suspension and the coarse sand and gravels being moved by lift and drag processes which are easily deposited, thus causing the channel to contract and braid. Channel migration occurred as gradual bend shifts leaving no evidence …

Border mapping is an activity which could be done continuously as the region develops. Many kinds of methods in border mapping have been done, and each has strength and weakness. Technology of remote sensing which continues to develop can be used to optimize border mapping to be more efficient. Remote sensing is one of the way to know the condition of earth surface, which in border mapping uses high resolution image, Quickbird image. The spatial accuracy of Quickbird image which reaches 2.4 meters per pixel can be used to monitor land use, to be created into a map which gives …
