Morphometry is the science of analyzing the shape, surface, and size of the Earth's landforms.Quantitative analysis of drainage networks in relation to lithology, geomorphology, climate, and tectonics provides significant data of an area's drainage development, hydro-geomorphic, and denudation features. The main focus of this research is to figure out how to get a holistic view of a stream by measuring various stream attributes. Aspects such as linear aspects and aerial aspects are considered in the quantitative drainage analysis. The linear aspects include stream number, stream length, stream order, and bifurcation ratio, mean length of stream orders, stream length ratio, mean stream length ratio, and form factor. Drainage density, stream frequency, and texture ratio, constant channel length, and overland flow maintenance length are all Areal aspects to consider. Morphometric analysis is conducted with the help of Arc GIS (10.2) software, which is a sophisticated tool for quickly measuring the drainage basin and the earth surface dimensions of landform and shape. The present study was carried out by using LISS-IV Satellite Images to study the drainage morphometry, Geomorphology and its influence on the hydrological characteristics of mine Areas in Adilabad District & Karimnagar District ,Telagana State, India. Results of the morphometric analysis reveal that the catchment of mine Areas in Adilabad District & Karimnagar District can be described as 1st to 7th order drainage basins, encompassing an area of 854km2, respectively. Area with a mean bifurcation ratio of 7.285, indicating greater structural control and a steeper gradient. The shape parameter shows that the basin is semicircular with dendritic drainage pattern. The Study Area's relief parameter indicates that the basin contains a steep slope and a high relief. These Morphometric parameters through GIS-based analysis indicate that drainage development of the study area shows well maturity stage, lithology and Geomorphology have a major impact on the drainage development in mining Area.
