A Geospatial Morphometric Analysis of Kulbera and Daurighara River Basins in Western Part of Purulia District of West Bengal, India

Morphometric analysis is used to understand the hydrological process and assessment of characteristics surface water basin. In present paper, an attempt has been made study detail morphometric Kulbera Daurighara river basin, which are tributaries Subarnarekha River in Purulia district, West Bengal. For detailed study, SRTM data for preparing digital elevation model (DEM), Geographic Information System (GIS) linear, areal, relief aspects basins. Watershed boundary, flow accumulation, length, stream ordering have prepared by using ILWIS 3.0. Different thematic maps i.e. elevation, geology, drainage density, slope longitudinal profiles channels QGIS 3.0 MapInfo 10.0 GIS software. More than 58 parameters all basins computed. On basis it argued that erosional development progressed well beyond maturity controlled lithology. Besides,it can be concluded this will also very useful rain harvesting planning watershed management.
