Hydrological Modeling and Characterization of the Khanpur Watershed, Pakistan
The Khanpur watershed in Pakistan has a high spatial changeability of precipitation attributable to extremely undulating surface topography and complex interactions between the land elevation and precipitation. This study used stormwater runoff modeling software, adapted to determine peak discharge of the Haro River. Correlation analysis was used to select input precipitation data for the software. Horton's and Strahler's strategies were used for manipulating the streams’ analysis and characterization of the watershed. Morphological features of the watershed are important in terms of hydrology. The bifurcation ratio was 3.5, which showed that the watershed has suffered less structural disturbance and the drainage patterns have not been distorted. The stream density of 0.5 is low, demonstrating a lower flood risk and an average channel slope. The Khanpur watershed has a circularity ratio of 0.6, showing that it is a small drainage basin with homogeneous geologic material that preserves the geometrical similarity. It has been determined that the watershed is well drained, hilly, and slopey.
