View … Description The book describes the drainage basin as a system unit resulting from the interaction between runoff and topography - a lengthy process of evolution that occurs according to well-defined laws. The total stream length of Supin basin is 1,439.204 km (Table 1) of which the 1st and 2nd order streams constitute 87.05%. Area 7, 217-22. The Watershed process solves this problem by first locating and filling the depressions. Low values of (C4 and C5) (Table 3; Figure 3(b)) are associated with high relief and steep slopes and imply the youthful nature of these subwatersheds. e basin covers an area of .km 2 and has a perimeter of .km. Thereafter, 36 morphometric parameters (Table 1) have been computed for the entire Supin basin, as well as for each of the subwatersheds. analysis of drainage basin morphometry. Moreover, it may also help in assessing the groundwater potential of the region and delineating effective water harvesting sites. Two 5th order streams of Har Ki Dun Gad and Ruinsara Gad combine to form Supin, the 6th order stream in the basin (Figure 2(a)). The result thus generated provides adequate knowledge base required for decision making during strategic planning and delineation of prioritised hazard management zones in mountainous terrains. 2010). The variation of between successive stream orders of Supin River basin is due to the greater number of streams belonging to lower orders indicating that the basin is still in its youthful stage of development (Table 2). ... Before According to Strahler (1964), systematic description of the geometry of a drainage basin and its stream channel requires measurement of linear aspects of the drainage network, areal aspects of the drainage basin, and relief (gradient) aspects of the … The statistical moments of hypsometric curve include skewness of the hypsometric curve (−0.474), kurtosis of the hypsometric curve (2.495), skewness of the hypsometric density function (−0.413), and kurtosis of the hypsometric density function (2.392). In a few elongated subwatersheds the management of flood flow is easier because of the low side flow for shorter duration and smaller peak flows for longer duration. catchment or watershed) is a finite area whose runoff is channeled through a single outlet. The value signifies the storage capacity of a basin and determines the relationship between drainage density and physiographic development of the basin. The value of Supin basin ranges from 0.07–0.44 with high values in WS2, WS5, WS17, WS19, WS21, WS23, WS24, WS25, WS26, and WS27 and low values in WS1, WS9, WS10, WS11, WS12, WS13, and WS14 (Figure 6(a)).
