Abstract

The river basin serves as the natural storage area for rivers and waterways. It comprises all the lands that feed rivers with the water they need to flow, as well as all river networks and channels that transmit surface water to the major channels in the form of surface water flows, even if they are seasonal. The water division regions, a line that circles the basin through the highest points of the surrounding high areas, represent the boundary between one river basin and another and divide it from other basins. In order to examine morphometric measures, mathematical techniques were used in conjunction with topographical maps.
