The Quantitative morphometric analysis is found to be dynamic study in considerate hydrological characteristics and its collaboration with the environment of any Watershed scheme. The main objective of the learning is to analyze the morphometric parameters of the Kunda River Watershed, Methods. The proposed study area is confined to latitude 21050' 0'' to 210 55' 0'' Nandlongitude750 35' 0''to750 45' 0''E (Survey of IndiaToposheet No.46O/9. The study area has been covered 159.97 sq. km. kunda river Watershed belonging to the northern part of Khargone district, is a solid rocks topography consisting typically Basalt. The study area is composed of flat terrain with gentle slope, which consists of basaltic lava flows. Geologically, these flows constitute a part of the Deccan Volcanic Province, the Watershed is of fourth order drainage having drainage density, and stream frequency 0f 0.977 and 0.922 separately. The Watershed shows extended in nature. The method practical to the river basin give a current calculation of the morphometric parameters of the region. The drainage morphometric analysis is important in range of water renew site, Watershed showing and groundwater visualization mapping. The study would deliver an important data collection about future Watershed view of the area.
