A quantitative evaluation of river drainage systems is necessary aspect of a watershed.The morphometricanalysis of the river basin and channel network plays animportant role in comprehension of the geo-hydrological nature of drainage basins. It expresses the prevailing climate, geological setting, geomorphology and structural behavior of the catchment area. In this study, the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Kunar river basin is used for delineation of the river basin and processed for morphometric analysis using GIS. The linear, areal, relief and gradient aspects of the river basin are determined for a detailed morphometric analysis of Kunar riverbasin.
