Morphometric characterization of Gayung and Sipu sub-basins of the Subansiri River of the Eastern Himalayas

Morphometric analysis of a river basin provides a quantitative description of the drainage system which is an important aspect of its characterization. Morphometric analysis helps to understand various hydrologic phenomena of a river basin. An attempt has been made in this study to compute the morphometric parameters of the Gayung and Sipu sub-basins of the Subansiri river basin of eastern Himalaya using Remote Sensing and GIS techniques.
