Hypsometric analysis (area-altitude study) is useful to understand the stages of geomorphic development of a river basin. In a hypsometric analysis, hypsometric curve and hypsometric integral are the two important indicators of study. The shapes and values of the hypsometric curve and hypsometric integral reveal the stage of development of the basin. In this present study, hypsometric analysis of ten sub-watersheds of Jamuna river has been carried out to compute hypsometric integral values. The values of hypsometric integral for the sub-watersheds range from 0.12 to 0.52, which indicates that the sub-watersheds of the Jamuna river are either in equilibrium or monadnock state. GIS provides an advanced and accurate tool to obtain hypsometric information and facilitates to compute the associated parameters of landforms.
