TR-138 : Geomorphology of Sabarmati basin upto Dharoi

Abstract

Geomorphology is a science which deals with the basin composition with respect to the topographical and geometric configurations of the basin. Climate and geomor-phological characteristics affects basin response to a considerable extent. Thus linking of the geomorphological parameters with the hydrological behavior of the basin provides a powerful way to understand hydrological response of different basins particularly of the ungauged basins.

In this study various geomorphological characteristics covering linear, areal and relief aspects of the Sabarmati basin upto Dharoi are evaluated using modern measuring tools. The study may be useful at finding out effect of geomorphology on watershed runoff response and identifying those parameters which are more closely related to runoff in the region.
