Drainage Density, texture and frequency appear to be the most promising and useful variables in the morphometric analysis of drainage basin, because they are related to tire dynamic nature of the network of stream segments and the area of the basin. These variables therefore can be fruitfully used for the classification of Aner basins, for the spatial prediction of processes and lot the interpretation of temporal changes the drainage network. They may be regarded as dependents on climate and catchment characteristics as well as factors affecting positively run-off and sediment response of a drainage basin. In spite of the extra ordinary qualities of these variables, they have not been suitably derived and interpreted. The present paper deals with the analysis of drainage frequency and drainage density of Aner drainage basin as well as its sub-basins with the help of Horton’s method, including identification of major categories and areas of high to low drainage frequency and density. Drainage density and drainage frequency are the most important factors that control the speed of runoff following a spell of heavy rain. In the present case, the drainage frequency and density seems to have been guided primarily by the existing lithologic, slope and climatic conditions as well as the anthropogenic factors producing a wide variety of both aspects mainly at sub-watershed level.
