Volume : III, Issue : IV, May - 2013 QUANTITATIVE MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF JAIPANDA WATERSHED, WEST BENGAL, INDIA USING ASTER (DEM) DATA AND GIS SUBODH CHANDRA PAL AND GOPAL CHANDRA DEBNATH DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : In the present paper, an attempt has been made to study the detail morphometric
characteristics of Jaipanda Watershed in Silabati river basin, West Bengal. For detailed
study, we used ASTER data for preparing digital elevation model (DEM), and
geographical information system (GIS) was used in evaluation of linear, areal and relief
aspects of morphometric parameters. Watershed boundary, flow accumulation, flow
direction, flow length, stream ordering have been prepared using Arc-Hydro Tool; and
contour, slope, aspect, hillshade have been prepared using Surface Tool in Arc-GIS 9.3
software, and ASTER (DEM). Different thematic maps i.e. drainage density, slope, relief,
superimposed profile, and longitudinal profiles have been prepared by using Arc-GIS
software. Authors have computed more than 20 morphometric parameter of all aspects.
Based on all morphometric parameters analysis; that the erosional development of the
area by the streams has progressed well beyond maturity and that lithology has had an
influence in the drainage development. These studies are very useful for planning
rainwater harvesting and watershed management. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : SUBODH CHANDRA PAL AND GOPAL CHANDRA DEBNATH, (2013).
