Abstract: The Kangsabati River Basin, located in eastern India, is a dynamic landscape that exhibits a rich geo-diversity, shaping both natural systems and human activities. The present study investigates the geological, geo-morphological, and hydrological characteristics of the region. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining remote sensing, GIS, field surveys, and historical data, the research delves into the geological formations, soil profiles, mineral resources, fluvial systems, and landforms that define the basin. The thematic maps have been prepared such as Geology, Slope analysis, soil, Drainage Density, stream Ordering, Contour, Climate, Land use/land cover (LULC), and Agricultural change detection map using GIS software. Additionally, the study explores the anthropogenic impacts on the river basin, including land use changes, mining activities, and water extraction. By understanding the intricate linkages between geology and the river system, this research provides insights for better conservation, land use planning, and resource management within the region. This exploration not only underscores the geo-diversity of the Kangsabati River Basin but also presents a framework for analyzing similar river basins in the context of environmental management and regional development.
