Morphological Assessment and Land Use Land Cover Change Detection of Hindon River Basin on Geospatial Platform

The present study is carried out the morphometrical analysis of River Hindon basin by linear, areal and relief aspects and land use land cover analysis of the basin by supervised classification technique. The basin occupies 6940 km² geographical area and it’s boundary perimeter is 1081.88 km. The minimum and maximum elevation of the basin was 190 m and 868 m and average elevation of entire basin is 528.5 m from mean sea level. The land use land cover by supervised classification, indicated that total 4047.93 km² area about 58.32 % of total area of basin used for agriculture purpose and covered by vegetation, 953.81 km²i.e. 1.37 % of basin area is covered by water bodies like river, streams, ponds, canals etc., 647.43 km² i.e. 9.32 % of basin area is barren land and 2149.94 km² i.e. 30.97 % of basin area is covered by buildup. There are also carried out the analysis of NDVI and NDVI ranges of the basin during 1990 was -0.13 to + 0.47 and in 2022 was -0.10 to +0.48.
