Prioritization of sub-basins of Ghataprabha River using morphometric parameters

Drainage morphometric analysis of river basins indicates the prevailing hydrological processes. Drainage lines of the Ghataprabha River, has been demarcated from SRTM DEM and substantiated with the thematic maps. Geographical Information System (GIS) was used in integrating the data and geo-referencing. Areal, linear, drainage length and density and relief parameters were determined. Surface storage potential of individual sub-basins was assessed using the morphometric and terrain parameters and prioritized for development.
