Abstract
Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) essentially related to the total scattering of particles in the water
column. It plays the role as a transport medium for pollutants, total load of organic and inorganic
substance in the water phase. In this study, we have developed empirical relationship based on a
strong relationship between Landsat near infrared (NIR) band and archived SPM data.
