Abstract: Morphometry is the study which includes the mathematical analysis and measurement of land forms, land shape and land surface dimensions. Different linear, areal and relief aspects of watershed represents the morphometric nature of watershed. The morphometric analysis of watershed is useful to investigate the erosion status of watershed, flood proneness and critical area suffering to soil erosion within drainage basin. Prioritization of watershed on the basis of degree of erosion within river basin using different morphometric parameters can be performed using geospatial technology. Different watershed management treatment to prevent soil erosion can be performed on priority basis which prevent further degradation of critically eroded area. In all collected 39 literatures, we found that the researchers used remote sensing and GIS technology for morphometric analysis and prioritization by considering different linear, areal and relief aspect of watershed. In this paper we focused on input data used, methodology adopted and conclusions for better watershed management. This paper is divided into six sections namely introduction, conceptual framework, methodology, results, conclusion and references.
