Comparative analysis of physiographic parameters for a drainage basin

Darko Barbalić

Abstract

The comparative analysis of physiographic parameters for a drainage basin of medium height and gradient, based on traditional and modern calculation methods, is presented. Raster and vectorial terrain models are applied in the analysis. The analysis, statistical treatment, and comparison of results, were conducted for 62 sub-drainage basins of the Orljava river using commercially available GIS tools. Expressions for calculating the mean gradient of the drainage basin, and their confidence intervals, were determined based on statistical results.

Keywords
