Description

Remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques are being efficiently used in recent times as a tool in determining the quantitative description of basin geometry i.e., morphometric analysis. The morphometric parameters are computed using Arc GIS software. Hence, in the present study an attempt has been made to understand the hydrological process of the command area at the watershed level by drawing the inferences from morphometric analysis. The study area chosen for the present study is Bettahalasuru command area situated in Bangalore North  lies geographically  between13°10'8"N and 13°9'12"N latitude and 77°35'58"E and 77°37'35"E longitude and toposheet No:57 G/12. It covers an area of 3.8 Sqkm and perimeter of 7.89km. The inferences shows that the study area is coarse textured, with low stream frequency along with the elongated nature.
