Morphometric analysis of Urmodi basin, Maharashtra using geo-spatial techniques

Morphometric analysis was carried out to analyze and determine the drainage pattern and characteristics of Urmodi river basin using topographical maps, SRTM data and geo-spatial technique. The study area, Urmodi river basin is one of the sub-basin of Krishna river basin in Satara district of Maharashtra and it covers 412. 29 sq. km area. Morphometric parameters like stream order, stream length, bifurcation ratio, drainage density, stream frequency, relief ratio, elongation ratio, circularity ratio and compactness constant are calculated using various techniques. The drainage density of the basin is 3.30 km/sq. km.
