| Abstract/Description: | Morphometric analysis is significant for inves-tigation and management of the watershed. This studydepicts the morphometric analysis of Miniwada Watershedin Nagpur district, Maharashtra, Central India using Geo-graphic Information System (GIS) techniques, which hasbeen carried out through measurement of various aspectslike linear, aerial and relief aspects of watershed. Thedrainage network of the watershed was generated fromCartosat-I DEM (10 m) using ESRI Software ArcGIS(ver.10.2). The analysis reveals that drainage pattern isdendritic and the stream order in the watershed varies from1 to 4. The total number of stream segments of all orderscounted as 37, out of which the majority of orders(70.27 %) was covered by 1st order streams and 4th orderstream segments covers only 2.70 %. The bifurcation ratioreflects the geological and tectonic characteristics of thewatershed and estimated as 3.08. The drainage density ofthe watershed is 3.63 km/sq km and it indicates thecloseness of spacing of channels. The systematic analysisof various parameters in GIS helps in better understandingthe soil resources distribution, watersheds prioritization,planning and management. |
