| Abstract | ||
| Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System GIS techniques have been adopted for the identification of morphological features and analyzing their properties of the Diwearege River Basin area in Messan province, Iraq. The basin morphometric parameters such as linear and aerial aspects of the river basin were determined and computed. It is 6th order drainage basin and drainage pattern mainly in sub dendritic to dendritic type. It is observed that the drainage density value is low which indicates the basin is highly permeable subsoil. The circularity ratio value reveals that the basin is strongly elongated and highly permeable homogenous geologic materials. This study would help the local people to utilize the resources for sustainable development of the basin area. | ||
