Abstract

The origin and development of human civilization can be found in the valleys of rivers. In the early times, humans started living along the banks of rivers to fulfill their daily needs. Generally, it is found that the invention of agriculture by humans was 8 to 10 thousand years ago. It is found that the concept of 'river basin' has developed from the concept of land development. Present paper reveals the analysis of drainage density in the Sipna river watershed area in the Melghat region of Amravati district.
