Abstract Effective River system management is essential for conserving water resources, improving agricultural productivity, and sustaining ecological health. Remote sensing crucial evaluating tracking several elements of river systems. The study explores the incorporation remote into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Artificial Intelligence (AI) to acquire a thorough comprehension dynamics accurately record minor fluctuations in conditions. demonstrates utilization satellite series such as Landsat, Sentinel enhance monitoring methods through analysis high-resolution imagery data. AI helps by automating data processing, finding patterns, making predictions about conditions trends. Machine learning techniques analytical capabilities GIS classifying land cover, predicting flood events, quality. research highlights novel approaches utilizing tackle issues related accessibility, analysis, verification. also acknowledges specific constraints difficulties, concerns over accessibility data, intricacies processes involved validation. statement underscores importance ongoing research, technical progress, collaboration among stakeholders overcome these limitations fully exploit sensing, artificial intelligence, geographic information An integrated approach development successful policies strategies that improve resilience sustainable This eventually promotes resource practices preservation.
