Abstract

Hydromorphology is a branch of physical geography which deals with the forms created by running water, especially rivers. The recognition and explanation of Hydromorphological factors and their action on the primary structural surface of Lileh Javaan Roud drainage basin and making applied maps are important for the recognition and implementation of environmental management of the basin. The significant role of running water is shown in the investigation of geology, climatology, physiography, hydrology, soil, vegetation and analysis of influent factors in making forms and processes and the existing landforms in the basin. The role of human being as an intensifying figure of erosion and development of new forms such as land slide and gully erosion is also important. The influential function of running water on the structure of drainage basin shows the important effect of the paleoclimate. The destruction of agricultural lands, the development of gullies, and the increasing destructive power of floods are some examples of the factors affecting the life of people in this area.

Keywords: Hydromorphology, Lileh Javaan Roud drainage basin, gully landslide.
