“Applied Morphometry and Watershed Management” book is designed to
introduce the recent developments related to applied morphometric studies of
drainage basins.
Applications
of drainage basin morphometric analysis cover several topics of research such
as:
1)
Prioritization of sub-watersheds for soil and water conservation;
2)
Surface water harvesting;
3)
Assessment of groundwater potential and predicting of groundwater movement;
4)
Geo-hazard assessment (i.e., soil erosion and sediment yield modeling, landslide
susceptibility mapping; flashflood hazard and flood management;
5) The impact of Quaternary tectonics on structure and drainage network
distortions.
