Abstract

Analysis of drainage basin is at present being made mainly quantitatively. Also, the quantitative morphometric analysis, Earlier it has been well attempted by various Geomorphologist, like Horton. Quantitative studies have been carried out to correlate the geomorphic parameters with runoff and other hydrological characters. Remote sensing out plays conventional studies in various aspects of the earth because of its capability of giving more accurate, efficient timely data, in order to understand the dynamics of a watershed. An attempt has been made in this work to study drainage basin characteristics of Channagiri watersheds using IRS LISS III data. The linear, aerial aspects of the above basins are analyzed. The drainage basin characteristics are then compared with one another and with other climatic parameters.
