Hypsometric Analysis of Bunbuni River, Chotanagpur Plateau, in India

Sumitra Mandi ^[3] | Kalicharan Soren ^[3]

Abstract: Hypsometric analysis reveals the distribution of horizontal cross-sectional area of river morphology with reverence to elevation (area-altitude analysis). Morphology of a river basin playing most important roles in the dynamics of surface and subsurface water runoff set up. It is also an important tool to determine and represent the form of a watershed and its evolution. Aspire of the paper is to bring out the Hypsometric analysis of The Bunbuni river is one of the tributary of the Bhoriwajor River and Bhoriwajor river is a tributary of river Kiur. Hypsometric integrals/elevation relief ratios indicating a mature to old stage landscape, medium to complex denudational processes, the linear river morphological changes of this river basin. This paper reveals the rainwater harvest practices and management for the watershed at appropriate locations for scheming further erosion, dropping the runoff and increases the groundwater probable.
