“…The observed stream frequency (F s ) values range from 1.688 to 2.00 for the faulted-erosional slope catchments, and from 1.509 to 1.692 for dip slope watersheds. It is obvious that F s values indicate steep slopes, with low permeability rocks, thus facilitating less infiltration and greater surface flow and high flooding potential [53].…”

Morphometric analysis and flash floods assessment were conducted for the watersheds of Ras En Naqb escarpment, south Jordan. The study area comprises of twelve small watersheds occupying the faulted-erosional slopes, and the dip slopes. The drainage network shows that dendritic and sub-dendritic patterns dominated the dip slopes, whereas trellis pattern characterized the faultederosional slopes. Stream orders range from fourth to sixth order. The mean bifurcation ratios vary between 4.2 and 5.38 for the dip slope basins, and between 3.5 and 5.0 for the faulted-erosional slope watersheds, indicating a noticeable influence of structural disturbances (i.e., faulting and uplifting), and rejuvenation of drainage networks. All watersheds have short basin lengths, ranging from 23.8 km to 42.2 km for the dip slope basins, and between 15.3 km and 45.4 km for the faulted-erosional slope catchments. This is indicative of high flooding susceptibility associated with heavy rainstorms of short duration. The circularity ratios range from 0.177 to 0.704 which denote that the catchments are moderately circular on the faulted-erosional slopes, and to some extent elongated on the dip slopes. The length of overland flow values ranges from 0.854 to 0.924 for the dip slope catchments, whereas LO values for the faulted-erosional slopes vary from 0.793 to 0.945 denoting steep slopes and shorter paths on both dip slope and faulted-erosional slope watersheds. Values of stream frequency range from 1.509 to 1.692 for the dip slope, and from 1.688 to 2.0 for the faulted-erosional slope catchments. FS values are also indicative of slope steepness, low infiltration rate, and high flooding potential. The watersheds of the dip slopes show lower values of form factor varying from 0.079 to 0.364, indicating elongated shape and suggesting a relatively flat hydrograph peak for longer duration. Similarly, values of Dd are high for catchments on the dip slope basins (1.709-1.85) and the faulted-erosional slope watersheds (1.587-2.0) indicating highly dissected topography, high surface runoff, low infiltration rate, and consequently high flooding potential. Furthermore, high relief values exist, ranging from 388 m to 714 m for the dip slope basins, and from 421 m to 846 m for the faulted-erosional slope catchments indicting high relief and steep slopes. Morphometric analysis, and flash flood assessment suggest that ten watersheds (83.3%) are categorized under high and intermediate flooding susceptibility, and the Y. Farhan et al. 10 faulted-erosional slope catchments are more hazardous in terms of flooding. Thus the protection of Ma'an, El Jafr rural Bedouin settlements, and Amman-Aqaba highway from recurrent flooding is essential to ensure sustainable future development in Ras En Naqb-Ma'an area.

“…These softwares are used nowadays for automatic watershed extraction from digital elevation model (DEM). Markose et al (2014) use 'bearing, azimuth and drainage (bAd) calculator' which is a modern and easy technique for the extraction of watershed morphometric parameters. Akram et al (2012) briefly described the watershed delineation from DEM using Arc GIS.…”

Watershed prioritization for soil and water conservation aspect using GIS and remote sensing: PCA-based approach at northern elevated tract Bangladesh

The current study has been derived to understand morphometric parameters to pledge the reduction in the proclaimed drought influence for climate change. Watershed prioritization has been studied using the geographical information system and remote sensing techniques for soil erosion and water preservation measure at Plio-Pleistocene elevated tract in Bangladesh. Secondary data, i.e., SRTM DEM and the topographical sheets, have been used for the drainage network identification. Seventeen watersheds of fifth order and three watersheds of sixth order are selected for the whole study. Sixteen basic morphometric parameters that are categorized as areal, linear and relief aspects have been used for the study area. The study area comprises sixth stream order that has been obtained using a stream threshold value of 100-m length. Morphometric analysis is suitable for water and soil conservation practice where groundwater and relevant data sets are not available. For the categorization and correlation of the morphometric parameters, principal component analysis (PCA) has been used in the present study. PCA analysis is more suitable, well-known and widely used method for its simplicity to choose more influencing parameters (correlated parameters) that are responsible for watershed prioritization. Strongly correlated components (D d , R c , R e and R b) are used for the compound parameter (C p) and final priority (R p) calculation. Low C p value is suitable for water and soil conservation measure. Therefore, the corresponding low C p has been taken as one for final priority ranking (R p) purpose, then second lowest value as two, and so on.

“…The benefit of quantitative analysis of morphometric parameters is extraordinary in the conservation and further development of soils and waters at the catchment level (Kanth and Hassan, 2012). In this context, the use of data obtained from Remote Sensing associated with GIS has proven to be an important and quite efficient and powerful tool for managing and analyzing river basins (Markose et al, 2014;Patel et al, 2012;Oliveira et al, 2010;Tamma Rao et al, 2012). The shared use of GIS, mathematical models, and geomorphological theories radically improves on previous methods of quantitative geomorphic analysis and mapping.…”
