Abstract

The river basin plays a fundamental role in planning the management of natural resources. The hydrological behavior of the basin depends on the geomorphological parameters of the hydrographic basin. In the present study, a morphometric analysis was performed to determine the linear, areal and relief parameters of the Panzara River, the main tributary of the Tapi River, using the Geographic Information System tool. The river basin is of seventh order, showing a dendritic pattern of drainage that indicates the homogeneity in the texture of the basin. The drainage density in the area is 2.56 and the mean bifurcation ratio 5.065 indicates the less impact of structural deformations on the basin. The stream frequency of the basin is 3.20 showing low relief and high permeability. The present study reveals that the applications of GIS techniques are reliable, take less time and are competent to manage large databases for management of river basins.
