Morphometric (Quantitative) analysis of Thandla drainage basin, based on drainage map has been conducted with the help of Survey of India Toposheet no. 46 I/12, on a 2 cm = 1 km scale. Thandla Quantitative study basin has been classified into 8 (A to H) sub-basins. Morphometric parameters namely Linear, Areal, and Relief aspects have been estimated, and described. Estimation of morphometric parameters such as Linear (Stream order - 1st to 5th order, Stream Number 1 to 238, Bifurcation ratio - 1 to 10), Areal (Drainage density -2.76 to 4.91, Stream frequency - 2.799 to 6.257, Form factor - 0.348 to 2.829, Circularity ratio -0.509 to 1.143, Elongation ratio - 13.331 to 107.808, Lemniscates - 0.069 to 0.718, Length of Overland flow - 0.101 to 0.181), and Relief variable (Basin relief - 2 to 120 m, Relief ratio - 0.754 to 16 m, Ruggedness number - 0.008 to 0.583, Ground surface slope - 0.016 to 1.166) pertaining to eight sub-basins have been described. Inter relationship of morphometric parameters and hypsometric analysis have been determined. Morphometric data enable to locate favourable ground water potential locations in Thandla study area.
