Evaluation of Morphometric Analysis of Kharag River Basin, Odisha Using Geospatial Techniques

Morphometric analysis of Halda River basin, Bangladesh, using GIS and remote sensing techniques

“…Morphometric analysis of drainage basin indicates the mathematical and geometrical analysis of land surface characteristics such as configuration, shape and dimension [ 1 , 2 ]. Morphometric analysis is successfully carried out by measuring the linear, relief, aerial, and geometric properties of the drainage basin [ [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] ].…”

“…The hydrological analysis tool of GIS software can process DEMs to extract basin area and stream network and its pattern [ 7 , 47 ]. Besides, through the geospatial analysis the mathematical and geometrical values of the extracted parameters can be measured [ 4 , 5 , 8 , [48] , [49] , [50] ]. Basin area, basin length, stream network and order, length of streams and elevation of different locations in the drainage basin are the basic parameters measured through geospatial and hydrological analysis in the GIS environment [ 5 , [51] , [52] , [53] ].…”

“…Basin area, basin length, stream network and order, length of streams and elevation of different locations in the drainage basin are the basic parameters measured through geospatial and hydrological analysis in the GIS environment [ 5 , [51] , [52] , [53] ]. Morphometric analysis of drainage basins has been conducted extensively by extracting morphometric parameters from SRTM-DEM using GIS software for different environmental, geologic, climatic and hydrologic settings across the world [ [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , 19 , [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] ]. However, the specific application of morphometric parameters measures the relationship with other factors or events such as neotectonic or geologic evolution, hydrological flow assessment, hazard investigation etc.…”
