Morphological study of Tons river basin tributary of Yamuna river network using geographical information system

Abstract

In this paper morphological evaluation has been attempted on Tons river basin tributary of Yamuna river network with special reference to water resource using geographical information system (GIS). Morphometric analysis of drainage basin includes stream order, stream length, stream length ratio, bifurcation ratio, sinusity index, circulatory index, elongation ratio, form factor, relief ratio, highland, shape and extended longitudinal profile etc. in which water resource based on rainfall data of selected eight sub-basins including Tons river have been analysed.
