“…Delineation of the drainage network and assigning the stream order from Survey of India (SOI) topographical map for a large river basin is a tiresome work. To overcome this problem, The Arc hydro approach is used for drainage delineation which is more dependable tool when matched to a manual method (Rai et al, 2017a). A geoprocessing model was used for evaluating the morphometric parameters.…”

“…Remote sensing and G1S techniques have developed as an effective tool for the watershed development programmes. Analysis of the morphometry is applied to prioritize watersheds and it then helps in understanding hydrological characteristics of the watershed like structure, relief of the watershed, stream networks, platform and topology (Javed et al, 2011;Khanday & Javed 2016;Rai et al, 2017aRai et al, & 2017bPande et.al., 2018).…”

An assessment of Varuna river basin of India was performed to study the various drainage parameters in GIS platform. The delineation of drainage network is possible either physically from topographic sheets or with the help data of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) by methods for calculation techniques. Extraction of the basin and sub-basins, stream network has been produced to evaluate the drainage characteristics in the study zone. The entire Varuna river basin has been subdivided into 3 sub-watersheds and 41 morphometric parameters have been computed under four broad categories i.e. drainage network, basin geometry, drainage texture, and relief characteristics. The morphometric analysis has been performed and different parameters have been correlated with each other to understand their underlying connection and their role over the basin hydro geomorphology. The study discloses different types of morphometric analysis and how they influence the soil and topography of the basin. The investigation and estimation of basin morphometry and relief parameters in GIS will be of massive utility in catchment area advancement, understanding the watershed for natural resource evaluation, planning and administration at any scale. The outcomes thus generated equip us with significant knowledge and may also provide an input that are essential in decision making for watershed planning and drainage development of the watershed.

“…These techniques have been deliberated by a number of researchers on varied geographical areas of India. Some of the fascinating researches on morphometric evolution using satellite data were also completed by Nautiyal (1994), Srivastava (1997), Nag (1998), Srinivasa et al (2004), Ali et al (2017) and Rai et al (2017b).

Satellite based remote sensing technology has proven to be an effectual tool in analysis of drainage networks, study of surface morphological features and their correlation with groundwater management prospect at basin level. The present study highlights the effectiveness and advantage of remote sensing and GIS-based analysis for quantitative and qualitative assessment of flood plain region of lower Kosi river basin based on morphometric analysis. In this study, ASTER DEM is used to extract the vital hydrological parameters of lower Kosi river basin in ARC GIS software. Morphometric parameters, e.g., stream order, stream length, bifurcation ratio, drainage density, drainage frequency, drainage texture, form factor, circularity ratio, elongation ratio, etc., have been calculated for the Kosi basin and their hydrological inferences were discussed. Most of the morphometric parameters such as bifurcation ratio, drainage density, drainage frequency, drainage texture concluded that basin has good prospect for water management program for various purposes and also generated data base that can provide scientific information for site selection of water-harvesting structures and flood management activities in the basin. Land use land cover (LULC) of the basin were also prepared from Landsat data of 2005, 2010 and 2015 to assess the change in dynamic of the basin and these layers are very noteworthy for further watershed prioritization.
