Abstract. Morphometry is the measurement and mathematical analysis of the surface, shape and dimensions of the Earth. Morphometric analysis requires. Notably, a comprehensive understanding of the morphometrics of river drainage is particularly important to study and interpret these aspects. Drainage or river, Environmental Sciences, Geography.

It addresses the processes governed by surface and subsurface geology, lithology, and geomorphology, which are manifested in watershed characteristics. Morphometric parameters are important elements in water and land resource management studies. In this study, drainage network parameters were extracted using an SRTM-based digital elevation model from the DEM Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, an Advanced Space Emission Radiometer and thermal reflection. Drainage basin morphometrics is a quantitative way of describing the surface shape characteristics of a watershed and provides important information about the area's topography and underlying geologic structures. It plays an important role in hydrogeological investigations to delineate suitable groundwater areas, 980. An automated extraction tool was developed using the modeling technique in the ArcGIS environment to delineate the morphometry of the basin. The basic requirements to run this tool are SRTM data and a pour point shapefile. The developed model will create the data needed for morphometric analysis after processing. Drainage morphometric parameters are an important indicator for understanding the hydrological and morphological characteristics of any region. The present study aims to understand the hydrological and morphological characteristics in two different morpho-climatic contexts based on the morphometric parameters of the watersheds. Remote Sensing and Geography, Environmental Sciences Morphometric characterization of Betwa BRB river basin in central India was carried out to understand the spatial variations in morphometric parameters and assess the hydrological, geological and topographical characteristics by analyzing SRTM DEM and topographic maps using, in the twelve watersheds studied, varied basin relief, m, varied elongation rates. 55. 80, the number of first-order streams, basin size, and drainage density varied. 1, km −2, basin slope varied. 0043. 2486, varied relief report. 0097.34,
