The primary aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive morphometric characterization of the Krishnai River Basin and to rank its sub-watersheds based on their susceptibility to soil erosion. By leveraging geoinformatics techniques, namely Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS), this research seeks to provide a detailed understanding of the basin's morphometric parameters and their implications for watershed management. The study aims to identify priority areas for intervention and develop strategies for sustainable water resource management and soil conservation. The basin was divided into five sub-watersheds (SW1 – SW5) for the purpose of detailed characterization. The basin covers an area of 932.03 km² with a perimeter of 245.70 km and an elevation range from 0 m to 894 m. The slope within the watershed varies from 0º - 46.95º, indicating a range from nearly level surfaces to very steep slopes. The basin features a 6th order dendritic drainage pattern, consisting of a total of 763 streams with a combined stream length of 1046.63 km.
