Morphometric Analysis, Drainage, Geology, Geomorphology, Management, Quantitative MeasurementAbstract
A morphometric analysis involves the quantitative measurements and calculation of landforms. It enables the analysis of geohydrological characteristics of a drainage basin in relation to terrain features and flow patterns. The study area is located in Raghunathapalli watershed of Jangaon District. The majority of morphological characteristics show that the river basin features are subject to considerable geological and Geomorphological controls. For planning purposes and sustainable management of a study area the results of morphometric characteristics may be used.
