Remote sensing and GIS has emerged as an efficient tool in delineation of drainage pattern and ground water potential and its planning and management. This technique can be employed for identification of morphological features and analyzing the properties of basin. In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze morphometric parameters and prioritize six sub watershed of South Pennar river basin in Hosur block, Krishnagiri district Tamil Nadu. Quantitative morphometric parameters of the basin can address linear, areal and relief aspects to understand conditions of drainage and their relationship with soil and water. The morphometric parameters are stream ordering, stream length, stream length ratio, and bifurcation ratio, drainage density, stream frequency, form factor, circulatory ratio, and elongated ratio were analyzed to know the characters of the watershed. The knowledge based weightage as being assigned by considering its influence on soil erosion then the compound value of all the parameters were computed, based on this all sub-watersheds has been prioritized into four classes very high, high, medium and low.
