Question 1

What is Drainage basin morphometric analysis?

Accepted Answer

Drainage basin morphometric analysis is the quantitative measurement of a river basin’s geometric properties — such as stream order, drainage density, and bifurcation ratio — to understand hydrological behavior and compare watersheds.

Question 2

Which morphometric indices are most used in competitive exams like UPSC?

Accepted Answer

The most frequently tested indices are drainage density, stream frequency, bifurcation ratio, form factor, and relief ratio, often linked to Horton’s laws and Strahler stream ordering.

Question 3

Can I learn morphometric analysis from an e‑book without GIS software?

Accepted Answer

An e‑book such as Simplified Hydrology provides the theoretical foundation and worked examples, but hands‑on practice with GIS tools (QGIS, ArcGIS, TauDEM) is essential for real‑world application.
