Present Hypsometric Integral (HI) analysis was carried out for studying the erosional condition of the basin, based on three parameters viz., major sub-basin and its watershed HI analysis, basin asymmetry and statistical analysis of the watersheds. The Gharni river watershed was delineated using Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques ArcGIS 10.1 software, which is useful for understanding the topography of the area. The hypsometric integral values for the whole Gharni river sub-basin indicate that the river is in a mature stage. Top Keywords Gharni, GIS, Hypsometry, Watersheds. Top |
