Abstract
Spatial information technology (SIT) ie remote sensing (RS), geographical information system (GIS) and global positioning system (GPS) has proved to be an efficient tool in delineation of drainage pattern and water resources management and its planning. GIS and image processing techniques have been adopted for the identification of morphological features and analyzing their properties of the Lower Gostani River Basin (LGRB) area in Andhra Pradesh state, India. The basin morphometric parameters such as linear and aerial aspects of the river basin were determined and computed. The area is occupied by 96% khondalite group (quartz-feldspar-garnetsillimanite-gneiss) of rocks. It is 7th order drainage basin and drainage pattern mainly in sub-dendritic to dendritic type. It is observed that the drainage density value is low which indicates the basin is highly permeable subsoil and thick vegetative cover. The circularity ratio value reveals that the basin is strongly elongated and highly permeable homogenous geologic materials. This study would help the local people to utilize the resources for sustainable development of the basin area.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
