5.3 Relief aspect Relief refers to the relative height of points on surface and lines with respect to the horizontal base of reference. Relief expresses the magnitude of the vertical dimension of the landform. 1) Maximum basin relief (H) Maximum basin relief (H) is the elevation difference between the highest Point in the catchment and the catchment outlet. The basin relief is found to be 1041m reveals that basin has undulating terrain having high kinetic energy of water results in severe soil erosion. 2) Relief ratio (Rhl) The elevation difference between the highest point and lowest point of watershed on the valley floor is the total relief of river basin. The ratio between the total relief of basin and the longest dimension of basin parallel to main drainage line is relief ratio (Schumm, 1956). In this study area of river basin relief ratio found to be 0.022. 3) Relative relief (Rhp) Relative relief is calculated by using the formula given by the Melton (1957) is Rhp= H*100/P, where P is perimeter in meter & H is total basin relief. Relative relief is found to be o.55.
