Calculating the Morphotectonic Indices of the Mula River Basin, Western Maharashtra, India

Mountain Frontier: This index indicates whether the forefront of the region is constructively valid. The index is defined as follows. Smf = Lmf / Ls where Smf = Piedmont denominator index Lmf = True distance along the contour Ls = Linear shape along the contour The shape of Piemonte varies with the degree of structural activity along the front. The active front shows a straight profile with a lower Smf value and the inactive or less active front end is marked by an irregular or more eroded contour with a higher Smf value (Wells et al., 1988).

The survey area (13,858.83 hectares) is a mountain range between the Prabara and Mura River basins. The range starts at the east boundary of the western border of the village of Ghatghar and the village of Washere of Akole tahsil in the Ahmendagar district of Maharashtra. The study area ranged from 19 ° 35 '06.86' 'to 19 ° 30' 13.08 'north latitude and 73 ° 37' 00.03 '' to 74 ° 0 4 '24.65'. It covers a part of India's survey topographic map number 47 E / 10, 11, 14, 15 and 47 I / 2, even if the slope changes slightly, the depth and water holding capacity of the earth will change . One of the reasons for forest diversity. The slope of this area decreases from northwest to southeast and the altitude ranges from 560 meters above sea level to 1646 meters above sea level.

Pune is one of the most popular cities in India at the intersection of Mura River and Muta River. Pune is the eighth largest city in India and the second largest city in Maharashtra. It is an economically and industrially important city. Located at 560 meters above sea level, Pune is one of the popular tourist attractions in Maharashtra State.
