Abstract

Morphometric analysis was done to determine the drainage characteristics of gundal watershed using topographic maps. This watershed divided into 25 sub watersheds. The drainage patterns of the sub-basins are dendritic and parallel, the basin includes heist order 4 is role stream and the area covers 790sqkm. The analysis clearly indicates some relations among the various attributes of the morphometric aspects of the watershed and helps to understand their role in sculpturing the surface of the region.
