Abstract
Thadayampatti Watershed of Madurai District is a Macro Watershed, having total area of 1000ha (10km2). It lies between 9051’45”N - 9055’00”N and 77043’25”E - 77044’36”E. Seven Villages are distributed in the watershed with an average population 1200 each. The annual rainfall is 677.5mm. The quantitative assessment of watershed in terms of Morphometric Analysis has been carried out using GIS. The various parameters of watershed namely Stream order, Stream length, mean stream length, stream ratio, bifurcation ratio, mean bifurcation ratio, drainage density and drainage frequency have been computed using ArcVIEW 10 GIS software. The results of Morphometric analysis revealed that the total number of stream is 44 with total length of drainage is 30.2 km. The mean bifurcation ratio is 1.53 and dendritic drainage pattern with ranging from coarse to fine texture is identified. Average drainage density of watershed is 2.837km / km2 and the average frequency is 3.743
