Satellite-based remote sensing technology has been shown to be beneficial for studying surface morphological features and analysing drainage networks. The current study emphasises the significance of digital elevation models and satellite imagery for evaluating drainage and determining their respective parameters in the Gangapur area of Aurangabad, India. Hydrological parameters such as slope, aspect, contour, flow direction, flow accumulation, and stream network were elucidated for watershed management of the area The ARC GIS software's hydrological module was used to calculate the watershed, draw its boundaries, and perform a morphometric analysis on the watershed using SRTM DEM. The watershed's stream order, which varies from First to Three order and displays a dendritic drainage network, is an indication of the watershed's homogeneous texture and absence of structural control. This shows the dendritic types. The bifurcation ratio varies from 4.32 to 19. The basin mean bifurcation ratio is found 0.41 which indicates the pattern of the drainage network isn't significantly affected by geological formations. This study shows that, in comparison to other conventional techniques, SRTM DEM based hydrological evaluation at the watershed size is more accurate and efficient.
