Abstract

The morphometric analysis is carried by tracing and digitizing in the GIS environments in the vicinity of the Kayadhu river. SOI topographical maps of scale 1:50,000 are used to bring out sufficient information. The morphometric analysis of 36 watersheds along Kayadhu river in order to bring out tectonic impression of the area. The Geoprocessing is done firstly with general aspects as linear, areal, shape then its asymmetry factors are analyzed. The Kayadhu river encompasses total geographical area of 1630sq.km. Kayadhu forms its course in the vicinity of Penganga which is sub-basin of Wardha River. Except some parts of the Kayadhu river, the morphometric analysis show region is tectonically slightlyunstable.
