Abstract
The present study highlights the morphometric parameters of Bhadar River, located in state of Gujarat, India. In this study, ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) and Geographical Information System (GIS) have been taken to evaluate Linear and Areal aspects of different morphometric parameters using ArcGIS software. The study is mainly focused on morphometric analysis which revealed that the Bhadar River Basin is from first to seventh orders with dendritic type of drainage pattern. The results show that the drainage density of the Basin has been obtained low which indicates drainage texture is very coarse in nature. The result of Elongation ratio explore that the Basin is less elongated. Bifurcation ratio values of Bhadar River Basin have experience minimum structural disturbances.
Highlights
According to (Horton, 1945), a large portion in geomorphology over the last many years has been on the event of quantitative physiographic strategies to explain the origin and behavior of drainage networks that are useful in analysis of availability of water resources
Factors influencing groundwater storage are different and these factors are depends on the following parameters: (1) rainfall availability as the source of water; (2) characteristic of drainage network has a wide role in indicating the runoff distribution within the basin and it indicate towards an infiltration behavior of flow of water on terrain surface horizontally and vertically; (3) lithological character of different rock governs flow and storage management; (4) slope is another factor, that controls water flow energy
All parameters were identified using ArcGIS software and data obtained for USGS website i.e. ASTER (DEM) with 30 m spatial resolution
Summary
According to (Horton, 1945), a large portion in geomorphology over the last many years has been on the event of quantitative physiographic strategies to explain the origin and behavior of drainage networks that are useful in analysis of availability of water resources. It is necessary to make plan for water management and its storage. Global digital elevation model (GDEM) comes into existence from remote sensing and has been broadly used in the structure and drainage network extraction. Basin based natural resource system management in mountain regions are rigorously gaining attention and accepted by government and other community organizations. Analysis of a Basin gives an indication about permeability, storage capability of the rocks (Clarke, 1966; Lee et al, 2008).
