Abstract

In the present study, an attempt is made to study the areal and relief aspects of morphometry of Suktel River, a tributary of Tel River and its subbasins that flows through Bolangir District of Odisha. The study is done using SRTM dem and GIS. Freely available SRTM Dem (30-meter resolution) has been processed to delineate the streams and the watershed. Its various linear, aerial and relief parameters have been delineated using Arc GIS 10.3. The results show that Suktel basin is a sixth-order basin having a dendritic drainage pattern. It has an elongated shape with coarse drainage texture. The highly concave upward hypsometric curve and low integral values ranging between 0.12 and 0.19 for the study basin and its subbasins imply that the basin is in the monadnock phase of basin development characterised by flat terrain with very low relief.
