Optimisation of morphometric parameters of Limbang river basin, Borneo in the equatorial tropics for terrain characterisation

Abstract

Limbang River basin (LRB) in the equatorial tropics was characterised through the statistical optimisation of morphometric parameters of its 33 subwatersehds of various orders. Basic, linear, aerial and relief parameters which are capable of expressing the geological, structural and relief setup of the river basin were estimated. The present study will enhance the scientific understanding about geomorphometric setup of the Limbang river basin, since there is no previous information is available.
