Morphometry Assessment of Oba River Basin and Its Implications for Flood

Abstract: The morphometric analysis of the drainage basin and channel network plays a vital role for understanding the geo-hydrological behavior of drainage basin and its implication on flood. Besides the primary aim of studying drainage basin as a geographical unit in order to understand its hydrological nature, this study examined the morphometric characteristics of Oba river drainage basin in the South-west of Nigeria with the use of GIS in order to evaluate the implication of the morphometric characteristics on floo… Show more

“…In retrospect, some datasets have been analyzed in Odo-Oba, Southwestern Nigeria in the last one decade. The studies include radiometric signatures analysis, morphometry assessment using geophraphic information system data, internal geometry assessment using electrical resistivity tomography technique, evaluation of heavy metals in soil samples, and water assessment of Odo-Oba, Nigeira [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] .…”

“…1 ). The basin is bounded with the coordinates of latitude 7° 28′ 25.9′′ to 8° 18′ 51.3′′ north and latitude 4° 8′ 44.3′′ to 4° 13′ 14.1′′ east respectively [7] . As reported by [8] that, “for several years, most of the materials being carried by the river several kilometers are deposited around Oba village along Oyo-Ogbomoso road probably because of the relatively planar surface of the area, this action has resulted to alluvial plain (quaternary sediments) which are likely to be made up of different materials”.…”

“…Kajian karakteristik morfometri dan banjir di Pulau Buru belum banyak diteliti. Hasil-hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa informasi karakteristik morfometri DAS sangat penting guna memahami karakteristik hidrologis DAS [2,3] , karakteristik banjir [4,5] dan untuk monitoring dan perencanaan manajemen sumberdaya air [6,7] . Morfometrik atau karakteristik fisik DAS seperti luas DAS, panjang sungai utama, orde sungai, lebar sungai, kerapatan sungai dan kemiringan sungai sangat berpengaruh terhadap bentuk hidrograf banjir [8] .…”
