The form and structure of river basins and their allied drainage networks are articulated by their morphometric parameters. Morphometric parameters of a river basin are quantitative attributes that are derived from the terrain or elevation surface and the basin’s drainage network. For morphometric studies, geographic information system (GIS) techniques with remote sensing are used as convenient tools. The Jia Bharali river basin of the states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh of India has been selected as the study area to derive the morphometric parameters. Assessment of drainages and their relative parameters such as stream order, stream length, drainage frequency, drainage density, drainage texture, form factor, circulatory ratio, elongation ratio and bifurcation ratio have been taken for assessment of the basin using GIS techniques based on SRTM DEM of 90 m resolution. The study revealed that the basin is 9th order and is characterized by dendritic to sub-dendritic drainage pattern.
