The present research work reflects the in detail morphometric study of Kadvi river basin, which is a part of Warna river in Shahuwadi district. Considering the geospatial techniques the study of kadvi river has further proceeded. The CARTOSAT data was used for generating DEM (digital elevation model).GIS was used for the analysis of morphometric aspects of Kadvi river basin. In the present study a variety of parameters like linear (stream number, stream order, stream length, stream length ratio, drainage density, bifurcation ratio, texture ratio, stream frequency) and shape concepts ( i.e. compactness-coefficient, circularity ratio , elongation ratio, form factors ) of the kadvi river basin has estimated. The study concludes that Kadvi river basin is having an area of 428.82 square km. The obtained number of stream order is from 1 to 7, here it is proved that 1st stream order with 1488 stream number is most dominant. The total number of streams counted in the Kadvi river basin are 1948. The drainage texture obtained in the basin is 18.07, which shows very fine texture of the river basin. The measured drainage density and stream frequency values are 3.2 km/sq.km and 4.54 respectively.
