Abstract
Present study aims to understand the morphometric characteristics of Painganga River sub basin using remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS). The drainage pattern of the study area is dendritic to sub dendritic with stream orders ranging from I to V orders. Drainage density ranges from 1.42 km/km2 to 1.57 km/km2 suggesting low drainage density. The change in stream length ratio from one order to another order indicates their late youthful stage of geomorphic development. SW-3 and SW-5 shows high bifurcation and mean bifurcation ratio suggesting strong geological and lithological controls on the basin. The values of form factor and circulatory ratio, suggest that all the five sub watersheds are elongated in shape. Elongation ratio of all the five sub watersheds ranges from 0.58 to 0.79 which indicates all the five sub watersheds are elongated and the basin is usually associated with high relief and steep ground slope.
