In this study, the morphometric characteristics of the Adula watershed were calculated using ESRI- ArcGIS. The areal extent of the Adula watershed varies between 19°32’40” N to 19°43’2” N latitude and 74°10’15” E to 74°48’18” E longitude. The topographic sheets obtained from the survey of India on a scale of 1:50000 and the SRTM (Spectral Radar Topographic Mission) Digital Elevation Model of 30 m resolution, were used for watershed delineation and deriving the linear (stream order, stream number, bifurcation ratio), aerial (basin area, basin perimeter, drainage density, form factor, stream frequency, and circulatory ratio), relief (height of outlet of watershed, basin relief, maximum height of watershed, total basin relief, absolute relief, relief ratio, ruggedness number) aspects. bifurcation ratio for varies from 3.0 to 8.33, indicating the elongated shape of the watershed. Drainage density factor values were 4.43 km/km 2 indicating high drainage densities and 0.132 Original Research Article
