Online published on 31 December, 2022. Abstract Morphometry is a response to specific hyhydrology and it provides an insight for watershed management especially in agriculture dominated River basins. In this paper an attempt is made to comprehend the morphometric properties of the Warana River basin in order to o obtain insight into the hydrological situation of the Wa arana River basin in Maharashtra. Morphometric parameter were calculated using geo processing techniques in QGIS 3.16. The Warana river is a Seventh-orderbasin, characterized by a dendritic drainage pattern with hig high stream frequency (2.99/km), infiltration number (7.22), and drainage density (2.41 km/km2), indicating high runoff potential with low Constant of channel maintenancee (0.41) and lineament density (0.20 km/km2) indicatee moderate recharge potential. Interrelationship among the e morphometric parameters indicates that the basin has moderate flood and moderate recharge property. The flood frequency analysis studied for the Shigaon River gauginging station indicates frequent floods in the Warana River basin. Water table fluctuations at decadal time scales indicated m indicated moderate to high recharge characteristics.
