Morphometric Analysis of Sonbhadra Sub-Watershed of Tawa Reservoir Catchment Area of Hoshangabad District, Madhya Pradesh Using GIS Techniques

The study area covers 682.34 Km2 in suke sub-watershed of Tawa reservoir catchment area of Hoshangabad, Bhopal (M.P.). the drainage network of suke sub watershed and measurement of Linear, Aereal and Relief aspects of basin by digitized using remote sensing and GIS techniques. The drainage network shows that the terrain exhibits dendritic drainage pattern. Stream order ranges from one to sixth order. The drainage density in the area 1.73km/km.2 belong to moderate category.Stream frequency in the area 2.40 and texture ratio 4.15 is range to belong moderate condition. The form factor indicate the sub watershed are less elongated in shape. The high value of circulatory ration the sub watershed is characterize by high to moderate relief and drainage system structurally controlled but the study area Rc is less than .50 indicating they are less elongated in shape.
