Morphometric analysis is used to understand the
hydrological process and assessment of hydrological
characteristics of surface water basin. In the present paper, an
attempt has been made to study the detail morphometric
characteristics of Kulbera and Daurighara river basin, which are
tributaries of Subarnarekha River in Purulia district, West
Bengal. For detailed study, SRTM data has been used for
preparing digital elevation model (DEM), and Geographic
Information System (GIS) has been used for the analysis of linear,
areal, and relief aspects of the basins. Watershed boundary, flow
accumulation, flow length, stream ordering have been prepared by
using ILWIS 3.0. Different thematic maps i.e. elevation, geology,
drainage density, slope and longitudinal profiles of river channels
have been prepared by using QGIS 3.0 and MapInfo 10.0 GIS
software. More than 58 morphometric parameters of all aspects of
the basins have been computed. On the basis of morphometric
analysis it has been argued that the erosional development has
progressed well beyond maturity and that the drainage
development is controlled by lithology. Besides,it can be concluded
that this study will also be very useful for rain water harvesting
planning and watershed management.
