Remote sensing and GIS based morphometric characterization of Bichiya river watershed of Rewa district, MP

Remote Sensing & GIS technique was used for extracting geomorphological characteristics of watersheds. Its application provides an efficient and accurate means evaluation these characteristics. Drainage system delineation is important to better understand hydrologic system, water resource management its planning. Morphometric analysis any drainage basin in a systematic method has great importance understanding hydrological behavior the basin. parameters describe topology, structure, platform relief area. are commonly planning regional models. Physical watershed some pre-information mainly runoff, stages development soil loss productivity viz; Stream order, length, Bifurcation ratio, density, frequency, texture, Form factor, Circularity Elongation ratio Compactness etc. were measured prioritization compound parameter values calculated finally seven sub watersheds marked. relevant useful identify various Watershed. Patterns, shape, stage stream, as well help correlate with lithological sensing techniques have proved be tool their updation. order show Watershed 5th dendritic pattern homogeneous nature area parallel pattern. The average Value study 2.98, usually common areas where geologic structures do not exercise dominant influence on density 1.75indicating moderate densities. Moderate indicates permeable. It also shows Texture Moderate.
