The Basic Concept to Study Morphometric Analysis of River Drainage Basin: A Review

Mangesh Deepak Kulkarni

Abstract: Morphometry is the measurement and mathematical evaluation of earths surface, form and the dimension of the landforms. The morphometric analysis of the drainage basin and channel network plays a significant role in comprehension of the geo-hydrological nature of drainage basin and expresses the prevailing climate, geological setting, geomorphology and structural antecedents of the catchment area. A quantitative evaluation of drainage system is significant aspect of drainage basin.

Keywords: Morphometry, drainage basin, drainage system
