The morphometric analysis of the drainage network of the watershed showed dendritic and radial patterns with moderate drainage texture. The variation in stream length ratio was thought to be due to change in slope and topography. The bifurcation ratio in the watershed indicated normal watershed category and the presence of moderate drainage density, suggesting that it had moderate permeable sub-soil, and coarse drainage texture.
The value of stream frequency indicated that the watershed showed positive correlation with increasing stream population with respect to increasing drainage density. The value of form factor and circulator ration suggested that Tundah watershed was less elongated to oval. Hence, from the study it was concluded that CartoSAT-1 (DEM) data, coupled with GIS techniques, proved to be a competent tool in morphometric analysis.
