Abstract

Morphometric parameters are an applicable method to understand the hydrological system of water drainage basins. To determine the capabilities of sub-basins, morphometric analysis was adopted, using the linear, areal, drainage network, formality, and relief variables of the drainage basin. Moreover, remote sensing and GIS have been proven to be efficient tools for identifying morphological parameters. This study might help to take water conservation measures and undertake repairs of drainage basin management structures for better decision-making in the future. The data used in the assessment cover the long-term from and constitute the monthly and daily rates of rainfall and temperature for four climatic stations. Furthermore, the morphological parameters were calculated from the digital elevation model (DEM) file with a 30 m resolution obtained from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Also, using algorithms formulas, represented by the SCS method for runoff estimation, equations for morphometric variables, and equations for hydrological variables estimation. A correlation matrix (Pearson's correlation coefficient) was set up between the hydrological and morphometric variables to determine that the morphometric variables had a statistically significant relationship with the hydrological variables. This would enable us to predict the hydrological variables of the sub-basins of the study area. Based on linear regression analysis using SPSS, the results of the correlation analysis that were applied to )*( Bulletin of the Faculty of Arts Volume 83 Issue
