Abstract

Accurate delineation of watershed and drainage networks is essential for hydrological and geomorphological models, water resource management, flood risk management, change of floodplains, and surface water mapping. This study aims to examine the accuracy of watershed delineation and drainage network of Tapi river in Surat city between Digital Elevation Model (DEM) from ASTER and CARTOSAT in ArcGIS. In this study, free online data sources from Earthdata Search – NASA and Bhuvan – NRSC websites were used to delineate watersheds from ASTER and CARTOSAT satellite imageries. Hydrologic information was extracted from both the DEMs in ArcGIS using Hydrology Tools. The analysis revealed that the watershed extracted from the ASTER DEM was having a total area of 6608 km2 and that from CARTOSAT DEM was 6759 km2. The correlation analysis was carried out to analyze the performance of watershed areas delineated from ASTER and CARTOSAT DEM. The R2 value and RMSE value indicated that the ASTER DEM provided a more accurate estimation of the watershed area compared to the CARTOSAT DEM. The results from this study have successfully shown that both ASTER and CARTOSAT DEM are suitable for watershed delineation of the Tapi river in Surat city at free and reliable sources.
