Abstract The present research work reflects the in detail morphometric study of Kadvi river basin , which is a part of Warna river in Shahuwadi district . Considering the geospatial techniques the study of kadvi river has further proceeded . The CARTOSAT data was used for generating DEM (digital elevation model) . GIS was used for the analysis of morphometric aspects of Kadvi river basin . In the present study a variety of parameters like linear (stream number , stream order , stream length , stream length ratio , drainage density , bifurcation ratio , texture ratio , stream frequency) and shape concepts (i . e . compactness - coefficient , circularity ratio , elongation ratio , form factors) of the kadvi river basin has estimated . The study concludes that Kadvi river basin is having an area of 428 . 82 square km . The obtained number of stream order is from 1 to 7 , here it is proved that 1st stream order with 1488 stream number is most dominant . The total number of streams counted in the Kadvi river basin are 1948 . The drainage texture obtained in the basin is 18 . 07 , which shows very fine texture of the river basin . The measured drainage density and stream frequency values are 3 . 2 km / sq . km and 4 . 54 respectively .
