Abstract

This research article is attempted on the study of morphological characteristics in Kanakapura watershed, located in Karnataka state, India. Kanakapura watershed is demarcated at the southern end of the Arkavathi River Basin. Morphological characteristics like flow accumulation, flow direction, stream network, and stream link have been extracted based on the digital elevation module (DEM), and results were interpreted and analyzed. Geographic Information System (GIS)-based approach with the use of DEM facilitates the understanding of different morphological characteristics that were represented in thematic raster data maps, and the correlation between the flow accumulations, flow direction, upstream, downstream pattern, stream order, and stream network was explored well. The study represents the morphological features extracted by using DEM in Arc Hydrology tools effective in understanding the spatial distribution of the stream network and identifying the groundwater potential locations.
