Abstract :

<p>Geomorphology as a discipline focuses on the scientific description of evolution of landforms but With the passage of time, the aim and scope of geomorphology have become more and more widen and oriented towards the utility of human being. With the advancement of technologies in remote sensing and GIS, application of hydrogeomorphological studies is utilized in the planning and management of natural resources. Natural resource inventories, delineation of ground water potential zones, environmental management, priority area identified for planning etc., hydrogeomorphology plays an important role. This paper focuses on journey of geomorphological studies with respect to hydrogeomorphology. in terms of natural resource management in association with remote sensing and GIS technology.</p>
