Morphometric Characteristics Of Beki River Basin, Assam

Morphological analysis of a particular river shows the topographic situation and hydrological condition of the catchment area. Morphological parameters indicate the hazards like erosion, flood, channel shifting and other landform development. Therefore, the morphological analysis of a particular river is very useful for the future generation of geomorphologists, planners, administrators and other field scientists. The present paper is an attempt to analyse the morphological characteristics of the Beki river channel and its basin. Data based on primary like field visits, secondary like satellite images and landsat images incorporated with toposheets were meaningfully calculated with high accuracy. Here, we are going to discuss about relief characteristics, basin and channel profiles, basin shape, Elongation and circularity ratios and channel morphology. The relative relief fairly represents the variation of altitude. It is also concerned with the channel morphology- standard, hydraulic and topographic sinuosity indexes.
