A number of dams have been constructed across the Mahi River in Gujarat state. Lower reaches of MahiRiver from Sindhrot dam, near Vadodara to Gulf of khambhat, in 176 km length, has been selected for the changeanalysis of bank line migration, erosion and sedimentation pattern. Satellite imageries (LISS III) from 1990 to 2016 andgoogle earth images have been used in the analysis in GIS environment. The study indicated that the river reaches fromTithor to Sona Talavadi is currently under active erosion .It has been observed that area of erosion is more thandeposition. Probably it is due to checking of the sediments by the dams located in the upstream. Migration of bank linesfrom 1990 to 2016 is maximum towards southern side in the central portion and in the northern side at the river mouthwithin the flood plain.
