Introduction

  • Issues currently being faced by the society-
  • Increase in world’s population and its impact on the availability of freshwater
  • Habitant’s expansion, fast urbanization and climate change
  • Irregular frequency and intensity of rainfall

(which make difficulty for appropriate water management and storage plans.)

  • Morphology is a science and measurement of forms or structures which is quantitative determination of landform.
  • Morphometry is the measurement and mathematical analysis of the configuration of the earth's surface, shape and dimension of its landforms (Agarwal, 1998).
  • Morphometric analysis is the numerical assessment of a basin altitude, volume, slope, profiles of a land as well as drainage basin characteristics of an area in question (Clarke 1966; Singh 1972 Strahler 1964).
  • Geographical Information System (GIS) tools have been successfully explored to generate adequate data on the spatial variations in drainage characteristics which provide an insight into hydrologic conditions, hence for the watershed management ( Das and Mukherjee, 2005; Vittala et al., 2004)
  • Remote sensing and GIS techniques are now a day used for assessing various terrain and morphometric parameters of the drainage basins and watersheds, as they provide a flexible environment and a powerful tool for the manipulation and analysis of spatial information.

Relevance of Work

  • The Panchganga River basin is a chronically drought prone area and the economy of the area is mainly depend on Agriculture.
  • Geo-Hydrological Studies necessary to understand about the geological and geomorphological factors, which affect on the occurrence and movement of surface and subsurface water of this region.
  • The drainage basin analysis is important in any hydrological investigation as assessment of groundwater potential, groundwater management, pedology and environmental assessment.
  • Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques are now-a-days in use for assessing various terrain and morphometric parameters of the drainage basins and watersheds, as it provides a flexible environment and an important tool for the manipulation and analysis of spatial information

Literature Review

  • Dr. Amba Shetty,Kumar Raju, (2010),” MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF NETRAVATHI RIVER BASIN USING GIS TECHNIQUES

In this paper it is concluded that geologic structure of the river has a dominant influence on the drainage pattern. A rapid analysis of spatial data of a large river with consistent measurement and calculation processes in which human errors were eliminated.

  • Tejaswini N. Bhagwat a, Amba Shetty b, V.S. Hegde, (2011),” SPATIAL VARIATION IN DRAINAGE CHARACTERISTICS AND GEOMORPHIC INSTANTANEOUS UNIT HYDROGRAPH (GIUH); IMPLICATIONS FOR WATERSHED MANAGEMENT—A CASE STUDY OF THE VARADA RIVER BASIN, NORTHERN KARNATAKA”

In the absence of hydrologic data geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) plays a vital role and used in broad scale for planning of watershed management programs. Fifth order sub-basin has potential for artificial recharge programs in the Southern Region and in Northern Region where hilly non-forest zone is ideal for surface water storage.

  • Dr Kuldeep Pareta and Upasana Pareta, (2011),” HYDRO-MORPHOGEOLOGICAL STUDY OF KARAWAN WATERSHED USING GIS AND REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES 

Evaluation of the groundwater perspective zones and different Hydromorphogeological units have been discovered by using image interpretation. By using Remote sensing Techniques he identified the potential zones of the Karawan watershed for development planning and by the study limitations and their implementation with reasonable accuracy of GIS is more as compared to the manual recognition.

Literature Review

  • Dr Kuldeep Pareta a, Upasana Pareta b, (2012),“QUANTITATIVE GEOMORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF A WATERSHED OF RAVI RIVER BASIN.”

The morphometric analysis of the channel which shows that the rainwater drain towards a reference point of the watershed shows a tree-like pattern. The bifurcation ratio in the watershed indicates normal watershed category and the presence of moderate drainage density.

  • Chougale Sujit and Sapkale Jagdish, (2017),” MORPHOMETRIC INVESTIGATION OF MORNA RIVER BASIN, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA USING GEOSPATIAL TECHNIQUES

Watershed management and sustainable development of the river basins are the priorities in the present time morphometric analysis helps to regulate and understand the hydrological characteristics of river basin and their results will be a necessary input for an absolute water resource management and plan.

  • Jabir Haruna , Biswajeet Pradhan, (2018),” QUANTIFICATION OF RUNOFF AS INFLUENCED BY MORPHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS IN A RURAL COMPLEX CATCHMENT”

The study of  watershed was delineated into four major catchments in Kelantan River basin. After studying the quantification of runoff it was found that geomorphological studies are essential for understanding the rainfall–runoff response of a watershed as well as for prediction of food peaks in conjunction with hydrological models.

Literature Review

  • Snehakumari S. Parmar, (2019),” MORPHOMETRY ANALYSIS USING SAGA GIS : A CASE STUDY OF WATERSHED - 63 OF NARMADA RIVER, GUJARAT, INDIA”

The integral use of remote sensing data and GIS technique becomes helpful to find out the area which is affected by the sedimentation process. In this present paper it is concluded that the watershed of narmada river have moderately high severe soil erosion effect which will ultimately affect the life of dam.

Proposed Work

The basic aim of this study is to perform morphometric analysis and study Geo-Hydrological Studies Using Geo-Spatial Technology. To fulfill this basic objective, the following specific objectives are defined:

(i)     To extract and analyze the linear, aerial and relief morphometric attributes of Panchganga River basin using geo-spatial technology from DEM using Geo-Spatial Technology.

(ii) To assess quantitative basin Potential of Panchganga River basin

(iii) To prioritize sub-watersheds primarily for groundwater potential and conservation structures for selected sub-basins of Panchganga River basin.

Proposed Methodology

Proposed work will be achieved by considering following methodology:

1. Generation of georeferenced topographic maps with the help of toposheets of Survey ofIndia of scale of 1:50000 in QGIS software 3.16.

2. Development of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for Panchganga River Basin by using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM 30 m) data.

3. Delineation of Panchganga River basin by using both toposheets and DEM.

4. Extraction and quantification of morphometric parameters of Panchganga River basin for morphometric analysis to perform Geo-Hydrological Studies

5. Assessment of quantitative basin Potential of Panchganga River basin

6. Prioritization of sub-watersheds primarily for groundwater potential and conservation structures for selected sub-basins of Panchganga River basin based on Geo-Hydrological Studies.
