Abstract

Quantitative morphometric analysis can be used to evaluate the drainage basin's properties and identify the hydrodynamic composition of the exposed rocks in the drainage basin. This study presents to maximize the benefits of water use based on watershed management by morphometric parameters & determination of land use of Sina River basin. Morphometric analysis using ESRI Software ArcGIS and land use and land cover using ROLTA GEOMATIC from CWPRS. The Research reveals at 0.475, the drainage density of the study region is regarded as low. This suggests that it has a subsoil with a high porosity, a coarse drainage texture, and a good vegetation cover. The elongation ratio value of 0.67 demonstrates the significant relief in the area. The drainage texture is substantially rougher than the watershed texture, which has a texture ratio of 1.63. Since the form factor is 0.35, the basin sees low peak flows over a longer period of time. The infiltration with the lower runoff is substantial due to the low infiltration number. For the study area, the infiltration number is 0. 088.According to the results of the morphometric study, check dams and bunds should be offered. Land use and Land Cover suggests the vegetation has reduced with the time.
