Determination of the Hydrological and Morphometric Characteristics Using GIS

Abstract

Abstract This paper was conducted to determine the hydrological and morphometric characteristics of the Wad Ramli region, Sudan. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was obtained and then processed within the ArcGIS 10.8 program. Hydrological analysis tools were used to determine the hydrological characteristics, and then the quantitative analysis was done to deduce the morphological characteristics. The water flow direction, water streams, stream orders, order 4 watershed, and all water basins were obtained. The best location for the dam's water storage was determined. It was found that the water is flowing normally, the basin is asymmetrical, and the area has low terrain.
