Kanhar basin is mainly dominated by lower order streams. Combination of the remote sensing satellite data and hydrological and spatial analysis in GIS environment is made easy to iden-tify and discriminate the drainage area (Pirasteh et al. The stream length ratio between the streams of different orders of the Kanhar basin shows a change in each sub-watershed (Table 6). A widely acknowledged principle of morphometry is that drainage basin morphology reflects various geological and geomorphological processes over time, as indicated by various morphometric studies (Horton 1945; Strahler 1952, 1964; Muller 1968; Shreve 1969; Evans 1972, 1984; Chorley et al. They appeared to have been formed by Archaean rocks. 2004). Am J Sci 248:655–668, Smith B, Sandwell D (2003) Accuracy and resolution of shuttle radar topography mission data.

The drainage network of the Kanhar basin is extracted from a series of geoprocessing tools in ARC GIS-9.3 (Fig. Aster DEM is used to prepare slope, aspect and contour maps. Morphometric analysis of yesagaon drainage basin using remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) @article{Payal2020MorphometricAO, title={Morphometric analysis of yesagaon drainage basin using remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS)}, author={SD Payal and AS Kadale and … Wherever the bedrock and formation is permeable, only a small number of relatively longer streams are formed in a well-drained watershed, a large number of streams of smaller length are developed where the bedrocks and formations are less permeable (Sethupathi et al. Hard &compact sandstone 16. Part of Springer Nature. The middle Kanhar basin lies in the central part of the study basin covering an area of about 3,268.44 km2 or 52.34 %. doi:10.1007/s13201-013-0095-0, Mahadevaswamy G, Nagaraju D, Siddalingamurthy S, Lakshmamma MSL, Nagesh PC, Rao K (2011) Morphometric analysis of Nanjangud taluk, Mysore District, Karnataka, India, using GIS Techniques. For detail morphometric analysis of the Reju Khal drainage basin at first the sixth order basins are delineated from Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generated from SRTM data. Drainage characteristics of many river basins and sub-basins in different parts of the globe have been studied using conventional methods (Horton 1945; Strahler 1957, 1964; Krishnamurthy et al. Newer Alluvium 4. The morphometric parameters of basin can address linear, areal and relief aspects. In winter the temperatures does not go below 18 °C. You are currently offline. Erosion risk parameters can be measured and calculated using DEM’s and Arc GIS software. This is the most eroded area formed by the river erosion. Remote sensing satellite data and GIS techniques have been proved to be an effective tool in drainage delineation.

Keywords: Morphometric analysis; GIS; SRTM data; Parbati river basin; Discharge Introduction The drainage basin is the fundamental unit in fluvial geomorphology within which the relationships between landforms and the processes that modify them have been studied. Stream length of different order under sub-watersheds of Kanhar basin is given in Table 4. J Indian Soc Remote Sens 26:169–175, Article  Withanage, N.D.K. Elongation ratio (Re) is defined as the ratio of diameter of a circle having the same area as of the basin and maximum basin length (Schumm 1956). 7. Well-delineated drainage basin boundaries are a critical factor in numerous natural re - sources studies such as flood assessment, water-usage, basin protection, The stream orders are classified up to seventh orders in the Kanhar basin. 2011). Morphometric analysis provides a quantitative description of drainage system which is animportant aspect of watershed char- acterization. The lower Kanhar basin lies in the northern part of the basin covering an area of about 1,476.99 km2 (23.65 %). The goal of the present study is to analyze the linear and areal morphometric characteristics of drainage basin in south-eastern part of Nigeria using Geographical Information System (GIS), as so far no exhaustive work on the morphometric investigation of the region has been carried out. Where two first-order stream segments join, they form a second-order stream segment and so on. Older Alluvium 5. It has been further divided into 11 s order morpho-units, namely Thema-Pangan Water Divide, Daukiduba-Pangan Confluence, Jogidah Upland, Kameshwar Nagar UPLAND, Kursa valley, Chutru upland, Biropani valley, Ramanuj Ganj upland, Chumki-Kanhar confluence, Budhudih hills, and Bhandaria upland. It is a dimensionless property and shows the degree of integration prevailing between streams of various orders in a drainage basin. 6a. It has been computed by dividing the total stream length of order ‘u’ by the number of stream segments in the order (Table 3). The mean bifurcation ratio (Rbm) characteristically ranges between 3.0 and 5.0 for a basin when the influence of geological structures on the drainage network is negligible (Verstappen 1983). Relative relief is an important morphometric variable used for the assessment of morphological characteristics of any topography (Gayen et al. Low, medium and high values of Rc indicate the young, mature, and old stages of the life cycle of the tributary watershed (John Wilson et al. To overcome this problem, automatic extraction techniques have been used for evaluating the morphometric parameters of a basin, i.e., extraction of River basin/watershed boundary and extraction of drainage/stream network from the Kanhar River basin using ASTER DEM in conjunction with geocoded standard false colour composite remote sensing satellite data (Landsat etm+ of 2013) and georeferenced SOI toposheets of 1972 (63P/3, 63P/4, 63P/7, 63P/8, 63P/12, 64M/6, 64M/9, 64M/10, 64M/11, 64M/12, 64M/14, 64M/16 and 73A/4 having 1:50,000 scale) and Lib Texas Toposheets No—NF44-4, NG44-11, NG44-12, NG44-16 having 1:250,000 scale using ARC GIS-9.3 and ERDAS Imagine-9.1 software’s. DOI: 10.22271/chemi.2020.v8.i3m.9330 Corpus ID: 219654098. The potential of ASTER DEM data and GIS in drainage basin morphometry was verified in comparison with conventional methods. The drainage basin analysis is important in any hydrological investigation like assessment of groundwater potential and groundwater management.

(Rastogi and Sharma 1976; Magesh et al. Morphometry is the measurement and mathematical analysis of the configuration of the earth’s surface, shape and dimension of its landforms (Clarke 1996; Agarwal 1998; Obi Reddy et al. The highest stream order (7th), i.e., for Kanhar River has a length of 113.38 km. The highest stream order in the Kanhar basin was identified as seventh. Geographical information system (GIS) has emerged as an efficient tool in delineation of drainage pattern and ground water potential and its planning. Bull Geol, Soc Am 63, Strahler AN (1957) Quantitative analysis of watershed geomorphology. Stream frequency (Sf) is the total number of stream segments of all orders per unit area (Horton 1932). The symbol AW denotes Tropical Swanah region. In general, the area is flat and hilly towards western part of middle Kanhar basin and there are waterfalls of up to 30 m. The highest elevation of the basin (1,225 m Gaurlata) also lies in this region. Horton (1945) considered Rb as an index of relief and dissection while Strahler (1957) opined that Rb shows only a small variation for different regions with different environments except where powerful geological control dominates. The result calculated in this paper will suggest and recommend developing a better water usage mechanism for proper watershed management in the Kanhar River basin.
