In our contemporary geographical and geological investigations, the Geographical Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) have shown to be effective tools. In this study, remote sensing and GIS techniques are used to extract the morphological features of a river in the water-stressed Bundelkhand region. The most recent Landsat-8 data and SOI toposheets were utilised to assess the morphometric analysis. A tributary of the Yamuna, the Bagain river basin has been chosen for this investigation. The linear, areal, and relief components of the morphometric study are included. The area has been discovered to be covered in steep Vindhyan hills. There are numerous drainage systems that start in the south, travel to the north, and discharge into the Yamuna River. River basins have a moderate drainage roughness and a dendritic, parallel, and trellis pattern. High bifurcation ratio suggests that the drainage network was distorted or affected by the geologic features. A divergence from a straight line in the logarithm of stream number vs stream order indicates regional uplift. Low drainage density estimates suggest that the region is covered by an impermeable subsurface material while having a mountainous relief. In order to aid in watershed management, the study's account of information regarding drainage pattern, stream behaviour, and morphometric setting of drainage within the network was presented.
