Morphometric analysis of bara tehsil of allahabad district through cartosat-1 dem data

Morphometric analysis of Bara tehsil of Allahabad district is carried out to understand the hydrological behavior for assessing ground water potential, water resource management, hazard reduction, flood control etc. CARTOSAT-1 DEM data is major data source for extracting drainage network and for delineating Yamuna basin, Tons basin & all the 8 watershed belongs to both basin. Arc-hydro tool of ArcGIS software version 10.2.2 has been used for generating different thematic layers & attribute tables. Raster calculator and excel sheet is used for calculating linear, areal and relief parameters of drainage basin. The obtained result indicates that Yamuna and Tons river basin have 6 th and 5 th order stream respectively, both have dendritc drainage pattern with moderate to good infiltration due to low sloppy terrain IndexTerms CARTOSAT-1 DEM, Arc-hydro tool, Morphometric analysis.
