Volume : III, Issue : VI, July - 2013 Drainage Characteristics and Its Relation to Soil pH and EC ofKurunda River basin of Maharashtra, India Balaji Avhad,Avinash Kadam,Bhosale A.B.,Yannawar V.B. DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Morphometric analysis of the river is very important factors for the purpose of the management and
conservation of soil, water, natural resources and environmental protection. Therefore present study focusing on the
Kurunda river basin for the study of its drainage characteristics of soil with references to pH and EC. pH and
Electrical Conductivity shows negative relation with stream frequency, relief ratio, drainage density, drainage
intensity, Slope, drainage texture, ruggedness number, gradient ratio, compactness constant etc.pH increases from
1st stream order towards 5th stream order, EC dominant found in the 3rd and 5th order relatively.
