24Jun 2017 MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE GAI RIVER BASIN, NE HIMALAYA, INDIA. Sorat Konwar. Department of Geology, Dimoria College, Khetri.

Highlights

  • Morphometric analysis is refers as the quantitative evaluation of form characteristics of the earth surface and any landform unit

  • Techniques can be employed for the identification of morphological features and analysing properties of basin

  • The drainage density ranges from 0 stream per km to 5.99 streams per km with most of the high density area concentrating in the upper reach of the river, suggesting a lithological control coupled with climatic conditions
