Quantitative Morphometric Evaluation of Gulakamale Watershed
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Civil
Abstract
Morphometric analysis of the Watershed is considered to be the most satisfactory method because it enables in understanding of the relationship of various aspects within a drainage basin. In the present study Gulakamale watershed have been considered with an area of 67.313 km2 with highest order stream of 5. The values of Stream frequency is 2.73, Form factor 0.516, Shape factor 1.94, Elongation Ratio 0.457, Circularity Ratio 0.581, Drainage density 2.36, Length of overland flow 0.376 for Gulakamale watershed.
Keywords
Watershed, GIS, Drainage density, Stream Frequency, Length of overland flow.
