Drainage basin morphometry is a quantitative way of describing the characteristics of the surface form of a drainage basin and provides important information about the region's topography and underlying geological structures. It plays an important role in hydrogeological investigations for delineating zones of adequate groundwater potential and selecting sites for construction of artificial recharge structures.In the present study an attempt was made to discover the stream properties in the Gagas River Basin of Almora district in the state of Uttarakhand using the various stream attributes. Based on the study the potential zones for the construction of artificial recharge structures in the basin were identified.
