Various morphometric parameters such as linear and shape aspects of the drainage network, viz.
Morphometric parameters, such as volume and planar surface area, indicate a greater mobility of the Younger Dryas mass movement deposits compared to the Holocene events.
The morphometric parameters such as number of stream segments, stream order, drainage pattern, subbasin length, perimeter and area were delineated from the SRTM DEM (90 m) data and verified with Survey of India topographical map (1 50,000).
Various morphometric parameters such as drainage pattern, stream order, bifurcation ratio, drainage density and other linear aspects are studied using remote sensing technique and topographical map (Mesa 2006; Zwnnitz 1932).
The availability of 3D measuring techniques and 3D image processing methods allow direct quantification of unbiased morphometric parameters, such as direct volume and surface determination, model independent assessment of thickness, and 3D connectivity estimation.
The information about basic morphometric parameters such as area (A), perimeter (P), length (L), and number of streams (N) was obtained from sub-watershed delineated layer, and basin length (L b) was calculated from stream length, while the bifurcation ratio (R b) was calculated from the number of streams.
The basic parameters like length of individual stream, basin area, and perimeter of the basin were extracted from the Arc GIS-10 geodatabase and further used for calculating morphometric parameter such as linear, areal, relief, and tectonic aspects by means of various equations (Table 1).
High content information such as morphometric parameters (Cell Area, Cell Roundness and Cell Shape Index described in Materials and Methods) are obtained as individual cell characteristics calculated from the cell contour detected on Phalloïdin/F-actin signal.
Morphometric parameters of the retinal vasculature, such as vessel diameter, tortuosity, and mean fractal dimension (mean-D), constitute the main output of these approaches.
Evaluation of morphometric parameters requires the analysis of various drainage parameters such as ordering of the various streams, measurement of basin area and perimeter, length of drainage channels, drainage density (Dd), bifurcation ratio (Rb), stream length ratio (RL), and relief ratio (Rh).
Karst depressions were mapped from the 1 24,000 USGS topographic maps and a morphometric analysis was performed by using parameters such as shape, circularity index, perimeter, area, length, width, and orientation.
