Title

Evaluation of Morphometric Parameters of Gai River Basin, India using GIS

Abstract

Morphometry is the study of physical and geometric aspects of a river basin and it is an integral part in the study of river basin characteristics. Morphometry incorporates quantitative study of the area, altitude, volume, shape, slope, profiles of the land and drainage basin characteristics of the area concerned. Remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques are very much useful and very convenient method in morphometric analysis of river drainage basins. The fast-emerging spatial information technology, remote sensing, GIS have effective tools to overcome most of the problems of land and water resources planning and management rather than conventional methods of data process. The present study aims at using the remotely sensed map such as Digital Elevation Map (DEM) to compute various parameters of morphometric characteristics of the Gai River watershed. The study area which lies between the latitude 27o48’0” N - 27o26’0” N and longitude 94o28’0” E - 94o45’0” E, is located in the Dhemaji district of Assam and West Siang of Arunachal Pradesh, with an elevation range of 93m to 1476m above the Mean Sea Level. The area of Gai river basin is about 500.5 km2 and it has 262 numbers of streams and highest order of stream is 5 and it follows dendritic drainage pattern.

Key Words

Morphometry, basin, GIS, DEM, watershed, latitude, longitude, Dendritic.
