Use of statistical morphometric analysis for the purpose and requirement of other disciplines may be far from the ground reality as it may be superfluous without corroboration by proper understanding of geology and geomorphology in the study. The present study attempts at the realization of such interpretations by considering drainage chracteristics of twenty sub-basins of Pariyat watershed located in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh in Central India.

Watershed management plays a vital role in water resources engineering. Watershed based on water resources management is necessary to plan and conserve the available resources.

A careful analysis of the computed Agricultural Development Indices for different districts of Orissa reveals that the four coastal districts (Balasore, Cuttack, Puri and Ganjam) and two districts of central table land area (Sambalpur and Bolangir) are agriculturally more advanced than other districts in the three reference years over three decades (1980-81, 1998-99).
