The paper analysed the morphometric parameters of Ogbere and Ogunpa drainage basins located on basement complex rock in Southwestern Nigeria. Data used were generated from topographical map of Ibadan Northeast on scale 1:25,000 published by Federal Survey of Nigeria (1975). Result obtained indicated that studied basins exhibits high spatial variation in their morphometric properties. The study further revealed that morphometric properties of Ogunpa drainage basin are likely to induce high magnitude flood compared to morphometric properties of Ogbere drainage basin. The study thus suggested a number of management practices that can be used in reducing rates of environmental degradation in the basins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
