Abstract
Morphometry is measurement and mathematical analysis of landform. Its importance is that it plays crucial role in understanding the geohydrogical characteristics of river basins in terms of linear, geometry and relief characteristics. The objectives of this study was to examine the linear properties, calculate the geometry and measure the relief characteristics of the watershed. DEM with 30m resolution was the data input obtained from ministry of water, energy and irrigation. The watershed is located in present day of south Ethiopian people’s regional state: southwest of the country and its area was calculated 228 sq. km and its form factor was 0.25 which indicates the elongated nature of its shape. Coarse drainage density with value of 0.5km/km2 implying the strong resistance of underlying lithology to erosive powers and stream frequency of 0.4 indicating relatively permeable rocks and gentle slope. Moreover the relief characteristics of the watershed reveal that high basin relief (2268.llm) and high ruggedness number 1.13 which imply the vulnerability of the watershed for erosion agents.
