Hydro-Morphometric Analysis of Manair Basin for Water Resources Management

Abstract

The study identified the importance of basin attributes for water resource management using remote sensing data and GIS techniques for Manair basin, Telangana, India.  Basin boundary, flow accumulation, flow direction, flow length, stream ordering have been determined using hydrology tools and raster surface tools of ArcGIS 10.0. Different thematic maps and morphometric parameters for drainage network, basin geometry, drainage texture analysis, relief characteristics, slope, LULC have been prepared with GIS tools. It is revealed from present study that morphometric analysis and hydrological evaluation at basin scale using RS and GIS is more applied and precise compared to conventional techniques
