Basin Morphometry of Maingra River, district Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

The term morphometery senses the measurements and analysis of form and its properties.In context of geomorphology which is science of landforms it is concerned with the various geometrical aspects of the landforms.Morphometric analysis of Maingra basin was carried. The basin morphometric parameters such as linear and aerial aspects of the river basin were determined and computed. The parameters considered for anaylisis are stream length, bifurcation ratio, drainage density, stream frequency, Drainage texture, form factor circularity ratio, elongation ratio, compactness ratio etc. The Maingra basin has a dendritic to parallel drainage pattern. It is the 4^th order drainage basin. Logarithm of number of stream vs stream order and length of stream segment vs stream order were computed in the basin area.
