The sedimentation process is the most important problem that affect directly the performance of reservoirsdue to the reduction of the storage capacity and possible problems affecting the operation. Thus periodic assessment ofthe storage capacity and determining sediment deposition patterns is an important issue for operation and managementof reservoirs. In this paper efforts are made to explore the Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS) method for assessment ofreservoir sedimentation at Ajwa Reservoir. It uses the fact that the water spread area of reservoir at various elevationskeeps on decreasing due to sedimentation. Remote Sensing technique gives us directly the water- spread area of thereservoir at a particular elevation on the date of pass of the satellite. This can help to estimate sedimentation over aperiod of time
