MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF BAUR CATCHMENT IN LESSER HIMALAYA: USING GEO-SPATIALTECHNIQUES

The current assessment is an undertaking to evaluateand compare variousmorphometric parameters of the Baur catchment. Morphometric analysis river basin provides a quantitative description drainage system, which important aspect categorization (Strahler, 1964).The catchment located in outer part Lesser Himalaya Kumaun region, major Western Himalaya.The geographical area Catchment 106.233Km2.Morphometric includes linear, areal, and relief aspects.The calculation morphometric parameter, along with map preparation, was performed help GIS techniques ancillary material.Most occupied by Siwalik Group (sandstone clay intercalation pseudo-conglomerate) rocks.The entire has found 6th order drainage, reveals sub-dendritic dendritic type pattern. It observed that density 3.525 km/halfkm2.
