Quantitative Approach to Hydrographic Features of Orta and Ilgaz – Kurşunlu Depressions
Öz
In this study selected morphometric indices and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used in order to compare
and determine main hydrographic features of study area which has two neighbor depressions within the same water
catchment area. The study area is located North of Turkey over Devrez River. Two main tectonic depressions are
selected in this study. Their names are Orta depression and Ilgaz – Kurşunlu depression which are located at Devrez
River Basin. In order to determine hydrographic properties of Orta and Ilgaz – Kurşunlu basins, different morphometric
indices including drainage density (��), stream frequency (� �), length of overland flow (�0), basin shape (��), basin relief
(H), relief ratio (�ℎ), ruggedness number (��), stream order (��), bifurcation ratio (��), texture ratio (�), hypsometric
curve and integral (��) are applied to study area. The necessary maps, layers and calculations are produced with ArcGIS
10.0. Result of this study, numerical data suggest that the depending on the neotectonic activity, evolution of two neighbor
basins is occurred and still continues at different levels.
