Abstract

Abstract: Varuna River is an important tributary of river Ganga. For the present study River Varuna has been chosen for the morphometric analysis and the demarcation of the basinal area of the river has been automatically done through Geospatial tool known as Arc Hydro. The study regarding the morphometry of the river lets us infer about the basin geometry, network system of the drainage and more of the river basin characteristics. Calculations of the morphometry will give us the quantitative description of the drainage system, which is an important aspect of the basins. This will describe the shape, slope, elongation, drainage density and many more important values to further incorporate water management processes in the varuna river basin. GIS tools will help us achieving morphometric analysis. With the help of morphometric analysis we are able to gain knowledge regarding the basin geomorphology and its responses to various hydrological processes. Keywords: Morphometric Analysis, Varuna River Basin, Arc Hydro, DEM, GIS
