Land and water resources are finite in countries like India, where population pressure is always increasing, and universal use is essential. Drainage basins, catchments, and sub-catchments are the major administrative entities for protecting natural resources. Watershed management is dependant on uplands, lowlands, land use, geomorphology, slope, and soil. Geomorphology is the scientific study of landforms on the earth's surface, including topography, drainage patterns, and geomorphic units, among other things. Bangalore has grown dramatically in the recent decade as a result of both globalisation and urbanisation. The need for services and, as a result, a higher quality of life in the city is not limited to the central core, the erstwhile Bangalore City Corporation jurisdiction alone, but also extends to the peri-urban areas, the metropolitan area, and beyond, into the Bangalore Metropolitan Region. At 12.59o north latitude and 77.57o east longitude, it is about equidistant from both the eastern and western coasts of the South Indian peninsula. Over the last ten years, the average yearly total rainfall has been around 880 mm, with about 60 rainy days. Summer temperatures range between 18 to 38 degrees Celsius, while winter temperatures range between 12 and 25 degrees Celsius. As a result, Bangalore has a comfortable environment throughout the year. Hebbal, Koramangala, Challaghatta, and Vrishabhavathi are the four watersheds that run through Bangalore. The study area, like the Udupi coast and other parts of Karnataka state on India's west coast. Coastal areas are active land-sea transition zones. Because of human interference with natural processes, their susceptibility is increasing. We focused on assessing coastal vulnerability along the Bangalore coast in this study. Our research included a fact study and prediction analysis of key records and data connected to our research purpose, which assisted us in reaching a conclusion on Bangalore's Geomorphological Changes.
