Abstract

Traditionally, topographic maps are usually employed for the drainage analysis. However, channel network extraction and watershed delineation from topographic maps require time and expertise in cartography. The application of Geomatics (Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other land topographic informations) is imperative for drainage network delineation. In the present study, drainage network of an urban city, Allahabad in U.P., is delineated using ArcHydro. The ASTER Global DEM (GDEM) data of 30 m resolution is processed to determine the primary natural flow routes and catchment. Hydrological analysis is performed for flow accumulation, slope, drainage path using DEM data. Results show that the maximum drainage length is 1.73 km, the longest flow path length in catchment is 2.10 km.
