“…Elongated basins have R c close to 0, whereas circular basins have R c close to 1 (Bisht et al, 2018). The basin shape is strongly elongated and has high infiltration rate if the circularity ratio is in the range of 0.4–0.5 (Ali et al, 2018; Aparna, Nigee, Shimna, & Drissia, 2015). R c is directly correlated with flash floods that is, higher values of R c indicating less availability of time for surface runoff to infiltrate and thus flooding.…”

Morphometric analysis and sub‐watersheds prioritisation were carried out for the Wadi Easal Basin, Jordan, which is characterised by a high topographic diversity. The total ranking method was applied to prioritise the sub‐watersheds in terms of susceptibility to flash flood. Results of morphometric analysis revealed that the study area is a fifth order drainage system with a dendritic drainage pattern and elongated shape. Prioritisation results showed that about 71% (15 out of 21 sub‐watersheds) of sub‐watersheds have high‐very high susceptibility to flooding, which forms about 64% of the total area of the basin. The main underlying morphometric parameters behind this are the high drainage density, stream frequency, high basin relief, basin slope, ruggedness number, and circulatory ratio, and the low value of basin shape. Overall, the basin has a rugged topography with steep slopes and high relief. Since the basin is ungauged, and no information about its past hydrological behaviour is present, the results of this study can be used as guidance for competent authorities to initialize flood mitigation or artificial groundwater recharge measures.

“…Bifurcation ratio (Rb) is described as the watershed drainage network. As indicated on Table 3, the bifurcation ratio in Serpeng watershed shows low in the first order (1,24) and high in the second order (17), while the Sumurup watershed has stream order of 1, 2, and 3 with the bifurcation ratio 3.29, 2.13, and 0.28. The geological formation of a watershed with Rb 3-5 doesn't have a dominant influence, but the lower Rb tends to be influenced by geological structures [11].…”

“…In the present study, Re for two watersheds in this study is less than 0,7 which the basin shape strongly elongation. The basin shape with strongly elongation has highly permeable and homogeneous geologic material [1] [3] [4] [16]. Elongation ratio has a relationship with hydrology response, where lag time and time to peak is longer.…”

Serpeng and Sumurup are allogeneic rivers in Wonosari’s basin, which derive water to Gunungsewu karst drainage system. The river flow characteristics of their allogeneic system are influenced by the watershed and weather conditions of the area. In addition, quantitative morphometry plays an important role in hydrological processes with remote sensing and geospatial techniques used to carry out a morphometric analysis. SRTM (DEM) was an efficient tool for extracting morphometric parameters. The watershed of the Sumurup river was much wider, and covers a total area of 42.80 km2, with a length of the main river being 21.44 km, while the Serpeng watershed covers an area of 10.58 km2 and length of the main river has 8.85 km. However, morphometry of the drainage density of both of them was classified on a medium category which indicates the basin is moderate permeability and has susceptible to flooding and erosion process. The highest order of Sumurup river has 4th level stream orders with has an elongated shape and Serpeng has 3rd level stream orders with an oval shape. Comparative analysis of watershed in the allogenic system could represent the geomorphological expression on the spatiotemporal variation of hydrology behavior of both rivers.

Several alluvial deposits in the Kalu Ganga basin are the most prominent secondary gem deposits in Sri Lanka. The quantitative morphometric analysis of watersheds is necessary to understand the hydrological setup of an area and the spatial distribution of alluvial formations. Since the processes involved in weathering, erosion, and sediment transport are directly imprinted on the land surface, an attempt was made to study drainage morphometry and morphology of the Upper Kalu Ganga basin to understand hydrologic processes that influenced the form ation of secondary gem deposits. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with GIS application and field observations were applied for the present study. Calculated linear, areal, and relief morphometric parameters of the basin indicate surface runoff, potential energy, susceptibility for soil erosion, denudation rate, sediment yield, and discharge rate are likely to be much higher in Kalu Ganga Head-watershed, Rath Ganga, and Hangamu Ganga while sediment deposition is higher in Kuru Ganga and Katugas Ella. The surface roughness studies enable to identify the localities of alluvial deposits that may carry gem-bearing sediments. Among the several methodologies used, multivariate analyses of morphometric parameters are the most viable and cost-effective for evaluating possible gem-bearing alluvial deposits on a regional scale, despite their limitations.
