Khulgad watershed is the constituent of the Kosi river basin and is located to the west of the Almora town in the Hawalbagh Development Block of Almora district in the Uttarakhand. The watershed is bounded within 79°32'20.71" to 79°37'11.19" E longitude and 29°34'30.20" to 29°38'48.03"N latitude, covering an area of 32.57 km2 and having cool temperature climate with an annual average temperature of 20°C. To achieve the Morphometric analysis, toposheet No. 63 C/2 Survey of India (SOI) in 1:50000 scales are procured and the boundary line is extracted by joining the ridge points. This will serve as area of interest for preparing base map and thematic maps. The drainage map is prepared with the help of geographical information system tool and morphometric parameters such as linear, aerial and relief aspects of the watershed have been determined. These dimensionless and dimensional parametric values are interpreted to understand the watershed characteristics. From the drainage map of the study area dendritic drainage pattern is identified. Strahler (1964) stream ordering method is used for stream ordering of the watershed. The mean bifurcation ratio of the watershed is 3.49.Keywords
Khulgad Watershed, GIS, Remote Sensing, Morphometric Parameters (Linear, Areal, Relief).

Evaporation is one of the main elements affecting water storage and temperature in the hydrological cycle and it plays an important role in evaluation of water availability. Considering the difficulty involved in direct method of evaporation estimation and limitation of empirical methods, an attempt has been made to estimate evaporation by multiple linear regression with the aid of gamma test (GT). The data of meteorological parameters viz., average temperature (Tavg), wind speed (W), average relative humidity (Rhavg) and sunshine hours (S) were used as input parameters and evaporation was considered as output parameter. The performance of developed model was evaluated in terms of mean squared error (MSE) and correlation co-efficient (r). In developed model, MSE was found to be 1.13 and 0.92 in training and testing phase, respectively. The model demonstrated good values of correlation co-efficient, respectively as 0.91 and 0.95 for training and testing period indicating the suitability of model to estimate the evaporation.Keywords
