ABSTRACT
328In the study, an attempt has been made to delineate the distinct geomorphic units in Kolar river sub basin, Nagpur distract, Maharashtra of Central India, using integrated remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques especially Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM), Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of 90 m resolution by analyzing the elevation, slope and image characteristics. DEM of study area has been generated from SRTM elevation data of 90 m resolution using software ArcGIS ver. 10.1. The analysis of the remote sensing data included delineation of the various terrain features, such as geology, structures, geomorphological units and their characters. Geologically, study area consists of Deccan trap, Quartz muscovite schist and small patches of the sandstone and limestone. From the DEM and satellite data the structure, processes and factor are clearly observed on the landforms, which give a complex appearance to slope profile. The steep escarpment slope followed by the talus slope or debris slope with convex profile make it clear that DEM and satellite data plays very important role in the landform delineation.
