Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The present paper involves an attempt to study the measurement and mathematical analysis of Solani watershed in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, North India. Author has evaluated the morphometric parameters based on the Survey of India toposheets at 1:50,000 scale, SRTM-DEM and Landsat 8 data. For this detailed study, SRTM based DEM and GIS have been applied in evaluation of linear, areal and relief aspects of drainage morphometry. Stream length, stream ordering, sinuosity index etc. have been prepared using sophisticated GIS software, and DEM. Author has computed more than 49 morphometric parameter of all aspects. Based on the morphometric analysis it can be said that the erosional development of the area by the streams has progressed in the old stage and those lithological characteristics has had an influence in the development of drainage system. This study is very much beneficial for rainwater harvesting and watershed management.
