Drainage Basin Characteristics of Dhund River Basin, Eastern Rajasthan India, Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques

Morphometric analysis is mathematical evaluation and measurement of the earth’s shape, surface its landform’s dimension. Dhund river basin in Jaipur district Rajasthan India has been carried out to evaluate various morphometric parameters following linear, areal relief aspects. The drainage basin, which covers a total area about 1828 km2 lies eastern part with maximum minimum elevation 603 m 214 respectively. Morphotectonic like Hypsometric Integral, Sinuosity index Asymmetry Factor have also computed identify tectonic characteristics basin. Primary secondary data such as SOI topographic map, Cartosat-1 DEM other relevant were utilized. ArcGIS software (Arc Map 10.2) was used for geo-referencing maps, delineation watershed preparation DEM, slope network. 6th order having dendritic pattern A relatively lower mean value Bifurcation ratio suggests that formed by uniformed materials. Drainage little elongated shape less prone floods. Basin different erosional stages levels activity, Moderate Meandering unstable setting.
