Morphotectonic analysis of Arunawati drainage basin using GIS and remote sensing
Author(s): SR Adgale and SC Gorane
Abstract: The evolution of a landscape is the result of complex interactions involving climate, tectonic and surface progress Therefore, the study of the geomorphology assists in understanding the landscape evolution. Geomorphic indices are useful tools in evaluating the tectonic activity relating the sensitivity to rock resistance, climatic change, and tectonic processes with the production of a certain landscape. The delineation of drainage network is possible either physically from topographic sheets or with the help data of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) by methods for calculation techniques. Extraction of the basin and sub basin, stream network has been produced to evaluate the drainage characteristics in the study area. Arunawati River is the right bank tributary of Tapi basin. It is flow from Madhya Pradesh to Maharashtra state. Study completed by geomorphic indices calculation such as, Liner aspect, Areal aspect and Relief aspect. Present basin most of the area acquire by hilly region so basin shape is elongated, high runoff intensity.
