Zafir Ahamad

Abstract

Rivers are playing a key Major role in development of an area. Examine the river morphometry is very crucial for sustainable development. By looking the history of development its shows that development occurred first on the river banks. on the other hand rivers are affeeted by the development of a region or nation. River play a key role in geomorphology of a region and river itself creates so many landforms. Changes in river directly affect the geomorphology of a region too. The present study deals with morphometric analysis of Gayathiripuzha River.
