Evaluation of the morphometric parameters involves preparation of drainage networks maps ordering of the various streams, measurements of catchment area, perimeter, relative relief, and relief ratio, length of drainage channels, drainage density, drainage frequency, bifurcation ratio, texture ratio, circulatory ratio and constant channel maintainers which helps to understand the natures of the drainage properties of basin. Morphometric parameters could be used in many of the watershed based application like terrain analysis, delineations of geomorphological features, quantitative geomorphology, pedo-geomorphological studies, land degradation studies, watershed prioritization, calculating flow direction, calculating flow accumulation assessment of runoff and top soil loss, hydro geomorphology, estimate peaks runoff rate, delineation of groundwater potential zone, flood zone and mapping etc. This study is carried out to evaluate the nature of the drainage basins and relationship with characters of the terrains and for deriving means to conserve and manage natural resources and combating natural hazards. The study is so used on lined, aerial and Relief aspects of the catchment area using geographic information system tools. In the present study GIS software are used to preparation of elevation map and base map of aprupa basin
