Abstract
The area of present study is situated at and around Nowgaon town of Chhatarpur district, Madhya Pradesh. It falls on the Survey of India Toposheet No. 54 O/8 and 54 O/12. The Bharar river basin selected for investigation is bounded by longitudes 79° 20′ 15″ to 79° 33′ 30″E and latitudes 25° 01′ 30″ to 25° 07′ 00″N. The morpho-mathematical analysis of Bharar river basin has been described in linear and areal aspects. The entire drainage network is spread over granitic rocks. The data obtained from morpho-mathematical analysis satisfy Horton’s laws of drainage composition. The shape parameters indicate that the basin is elongated.
