Geomatic Based Morphometric Analysis of Kadalibadi Micro-Watershed of Ansupa Lake Catchment, Cuttack District, Odisha

Abstract

In the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate morphometric parameters derived from SRTM data and also land use/land cover, geomorphology, soil and also drainage map are prepared from SOI toposheet, LISS IV and Cartosat II satellite images. The study is about the Kadalibadi micro-watershed of Ansupa catchment and the micro-watershed, covering five nos. of villages (Kadalibadi, Podapada, Radhadarsanpur, Mahidharpur and Baidehipur). Remote sensing (RS) along with geographical information system (GIS) technologies has been successfully used to derive considerable accurate representation of various watershed delineation features. GIS techniques are characterized by very high accuracy of mapping and measurement, and have been proved to be a competent tool in morphometric analysis. Drainage density and stream frequency are the most useful criteria for the morphometric classification of drainage basins which certainly control the runoff pattern, sediment yield and other hydrological parameters of the drainage basin.
