The drainage pattern in the present watershed is dendritic
in nature. This may be due to more or less homogeneous lithology
and structural controls. In the study area high drainage
density is observed over the hilly terrain with impermeable
hard rock substratum, and low drainage density over the
highly permeable sub-soils and low relief areas. Low drainage
density areas are favorable for identification of groundwater
potential zones. Slope plays a very significant role in determining
infiltration vs. runoff relation. Infiltration is inversely
related to slope i.e. gentler is the slope, higher is infiltration
and less is runoff and vice versa.
