Abstract:

The present study based on morphometric analysis in the Sindphana River Basin was carried out for the delineation of areas for the natural water resources and long-term sustainability in Shirur-Kasar Taluka of Beed district, Maharashtra, India. The linear, areal, drainage and relief aspects were analyzed with the help of SRTM DEM data using Remote Sensing and GIS techniques. The total basin length is 44.24 km, and 1078 km2 is the total basin area of the Sindphana River Basin in ShirurKasar Taluka. In the study area dendritic to sub-dendritic drainage patterns were observed with homogenous lithology and maximum seventh-order stream networks. The mean bifurcation ratio is 4.51 which suggests the basin is not structurally controlled. Water storage capacity in flat areas and runoff in steep areas are indicated by Rho values and mean stream length. The elongation and circulatory ratio values are 0.472 and 0.62, respectively, which suggests the river basin has an elongated shape and very fine drainage texture. The river basin area reveals that 2.26 km-1 drainage density value which suggests a moderate infiltration rate and is feasible for soil and water resource structures for further growth of groundwater. This study is beneficial for delineating the water resource areas for the conservation and management of the basin.
