“…It shows infiltration capacity of the land and vegetation cover of the catchment (Macka 2001). Dd influences the output of water and sediment from the catchment area (Ozdemir and Bird 2009) and erosion susceptibility (Anon 1988;Gregory and Walling 1973;Bates 1981). Dd of the drainage basin depends on climatic condition and vegetation (Moglen et al 1998), landscape properties like soil and rock (Kelson and Wells 1989) and relief (Oguchi 1997).…”

The quantitative analysis of the watershed is important for the quantification of the channel network and to understand its geo-hydrological behaviour. Assessment of drainage network and their relative parameters have been quantitatively carried out for the Chakrar watershed of Madhya Pradesh, India, to understand the prevailing geological variation, topographic information and structural setup of the watershed and their interrelationship. Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) has been used for the delineation and calculation of the morphometric parameters of the watershed. The Chakrar watershed is sprawled over an area of 415 km 2 with dendritic, parallel and trellis drainage pattern. It is sub-divided into nine sub-watersheds. The study area is designated as sixth-order basin and lower and middle order streams mostly dominate the basin with the drainage density value of 2.46 km/km 2 which exhibits gentle to steep slope terrain, medium dense vegetation, and less permeable with medium precipitation. The mean bifurcation value of the basin is 4.16 and value of nine sub-watersheds varies from 2.83 to 4.44 which reveals drainage networks formed on homogeneous rocks when the influences of geologic structures on the stream network is negligible. Form factor, circularity ratio and elongation ratio indicate an elongated basin shape having less prone to flood, lower erosion and sediment transport capacities. The results from the morphometric assessment of the watershed are important in water resources evaluation and its management and for the selection of recharge structure in the area for future water management.

“…Various morphometric parameters such as drainage pattern, stream order, bifurcation ratio, drainage density and other linear aspects are studied using remote sensing technique and topographical map (Mesa 2006). The surface runoff and flow intensity of the drainage system can be estimated using the geomorphic features associated with morphometric parameters (Ozdemir and Bird 2009). Pioneer work on basin morphometry has been carried out by Horton (1932Horton ( , 1945, Miller (1953), Smith (1950), and Strahler (1964).…”

A morphometric analysis of Bharathapuzha river basin has been carried out using geoprocessing techniques in GIS. This technique is found relevant for the extraction of river basin and its drainage networks. The extracted drainage network was classified according to Strahler's system of classification and it reveals that the terrain exhibits dendritic to sub-dendritic drainage pattern. The Bharathapuzha drainage basin is sprawled over an area of 5,988.56 km 2 . The study area was designated as seventh-order basin and lower order streams mostly dominate the basin with the drainage density value of 1.07 km/km 2 . The slope of basin varied from 0°to 70°and the slope variation is chiefly controlled by the local geology and erosion cycles. The elongation ratio of the basin is 0.57 indicating that the study area is elongated with moderate relief and steep slopes. The drainage texture of the basin is 7.78 which indicates an intermediate texture that exists over the region. Hence, from the study, it can be concluded that remote sensing data (SRTM-DEM) coupled with geoprocessing techniques prove to be a competent tool in morphometric analysis and the data can be used for basin management and other hydrological studies in future.

“…Elevations of 1,750-2,303 m were classified as mountains ( Figure 5 and Table 2). Figure 5 shows a small number of height intervals within the elevation range of 7-2,303 m. After the DEM classification of the geographical features ( Figure 4) and analysis, maps of the main stream drainage hierarchy, i.e., stream orders ( Figure 5 and Table 2), sub-basins ( Figure 6 and Table 3), and water-flow accumulation areas (Figure 7), were generated from the ASTER DEM data via the Hydrology tool in ArcGIS (Mark et al, 19984;O'Callaghan & Mark, 1984;Band, 1986;Ozdemir & Bird, 2009). The sub-basins were categorized according to the major river basins of the Kutahya Province in the Environmental Atlas of Turkey (Baykan 2004).…”

Kutahya Province is a significant cultural heritage area of Turkey; it is susceptible to flooding when sudden heavy rain falls and is located in a high-risk earthquake region. The objective of this study was to acquire geo-information from Kutahya Province and interpret the risk levels to the population from floods and earthquakes. In this study, the Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission Reflection Digital Elevation Model of Kutahya Province was used to create maps that illustrate the digital terrain model and the 3D fly-through dynamic model of the study region. The maps exhibit landform characteristics, fault zones, earthquake locations, thermal locations, stream drainages and water-flow accumulation areas. From the interpretation of the maps, the results revealed that the most susceptible areas to flooding are the settlements and agricultural plains of Kutahya, Altintas, and Simav, in decreasing order. Gediz, Simav, Kutahya, Emet, Tavsanli, Dumlupinar, Domanic, Hisarcik, Pazarlar and Saphane are at high risk of earthquake damage, in decreasing order. The results of this study can help planners involved in regional urban and infrastructure development as well as environmental planning in Kutahya province.
