Remote Sensing in the Evaluation of Morpho-hydrological Characteristics of the Drainage Basins of the Jojri Catchment

Abstract

Quantitative evaluation of the morphological characteristics of the drainage basins of the Jojri catchment using remote sensing techniques and ground truth has revealed that the drainage basin area, drainage densitys, stream frequency, bifurcation ratio and circularity ratio influence the surface runoff and peak dischrge. The mean annual runoff etimated for all the drainage basin varies from 7% to 106.28 ha m .Ihe relation estahlashcd between morpho.hydrological variables have shown that the mean annual runoff correlated with drainage basin area, total stream length and first order stream frequency and haw a practical application in basin hydrology.
