Prioritizing Subwatersheds from Drainage Morphometric Parameters for Erosion Studies in Chitravathi Watershed, Chickballapur District, Karnataka

Assessment of soil erosion in a watershed is important to take measure to control it. This paper presents the result of drainage morphometry approach to understand the status of erosion and deposition in the Chitravathi watershed. The study of drainage morphometry leads to an understanding of the dissection of the area, which in turn helps in deciphering the erosion condition. Soil erosion status in the subwatersheds of Chitravathi watershed is prioritized using drainage morphometric parameters.
