Morphometric analysis of upstream Sungai Batu catchment in Selangor, Malaysia using geographical information system (GIS)

The evaluation of morphometric analysis was conducted in upstream Sungai Batu catchment with the total area 24.40 km 2. The GIS application used as a tool to generate drainage network from ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (30m) and obtains reliable information of linear, areal and relief morphom...
