Geomorphological Analysis of the Ukhma River Basin from the Northern Foreland of Peninsular India
摘要
The present study is a report which highlights the efficiency and benefit of GIS and remote sensing for qualitative and quantitative assessment of detailed geomorphology of the Ukhma River Basin based on a morphometric investigation. The river Ukhma is a northwestern tributary of the Tons River in Central India, occupying an area of approximately 745 square kilometers within the Vindhyan group of rock. The river longitudinal profile and the study of basin lineaments provide the drainage dynamics of the Ukhma basin, implying that regional tectonics controlled the drainage pattern of the Ukhma river basin. The asymmetry factor of the Ukhma river indicates a displacement of the channel on the left side, that is, in the north direction.
