Abstract

In this study, Mıhlı and Şahin creeks, two neighboring basins that are located in the southern part of Kazdağ massif, are investigated with special emphasis to numerically defined hydrographic features. Quantitative calculations of topographical elements in the basins were carried out by using topographical maps with scale of 1:25000. Morphometric features of the two basins, such as drainage type, stream length and profile, bed gradient, bifurcation rate, drainage density and frequency were compared on the basis of digitally performed calculations on ArcGIS Desktop software. Our results show that the basins have similar drainage and topographical features with regard to that they are found under identical geomorphologic processes.
