The palaeo-course of the Assi river in Uttar Pradesh, India was delineated through visual image impressions using remote sensing data. To corroborate on the existence of this palaeo-course 192 open wells and several ponds along and within the palaeo-course were observed showing very shallow groundwater table. Also, eight trenches dug within the channel and over the natural levees confirmed the existence of very shallow groundwater conditions. The observations of wells were made and trenches were dug during January–February 2020, by which time most of the ponds away from the channel dry out and the water column in the wells outside the course is reduced compared to the ponds and wells located over the banks and wells within the palaeocourse and outside it corroborates the existence of the Assi palaeo-course.

The Assi river in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, is now a small, local, ephemeral floodplain tributary of River Ganga, with a length of about 8 km and catchment area of about 22 km 2 . It has also turned into a filthy drain. There are evidences in the form of palaeochannels, through patterns of water bodies and settlements along them, to suggest the origin of Assi river near Allahabad flowing through a distance of about 120 km up to Varanasi to meet the Ganga. There is also the possibility that Assi started as a takeoff from River Ganga and flowed as a Yazoo stream. Through on-screen digitization from high and medium-resolution remote sensing data – BHUVAN and Google Earth, CORONA aerial photographs, IRS P6 LISS-IV, Landsat 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 – and a number of cross profiles from SRTM 30 m digital elevation model (DEM), palaeochannel of Assi has been delineated. Also, a 1 m DEM was generated for the present Assi catchment area from about 5000 DGPS points to present proof that the present Assi is a misfit in once a wider valley shaped by heavy discharge coming from a greater length of channel and a larger catchment area.
