Description :
In this present study, remote sensing and GIS techniques have been used to update drainage and surface water sources, evaluate linear, relief and aerial morphometric parameters and prioritize the watersheds of the Hiranyakeshi watershed Belagavi district Karnataka. A detailed study used SRTM data (from the USUS website) and Topographical maps for preparing digital elevation models (DEM) and GIS is used in the evaluation of morphometric parameters. Quantitative Morphometric analysis has been carried out for the Hiranyakeshi watershed. In this paper, there are 10 morphometric parameters computed for linear aspects. The drainage density of the watershed is 3.78 km/km2. This indicates the fine presence of permeable subsurface formation. This study will help people to utilize resources for sustainable development of the watershed and it will be useful for planning rainwater harvesting, soil and water conservation measures, watershed management and development.
