    This document discusses methods for quantifying drainage networks and stream ordering. It describes the Strahler and Shreve methods for assigning stream order. The Strahler method was proposed in 1952 and only increases stream order when two streams of the same order intersect. The Shreve method, proposed in 1967, assigns magnitude orders to all links with no tributaries and determines downstream order by adding the magnitudes of intersecting links. The document analyzed the stream network using the Strahler method and found that first order streams were most frequent and frequency decreased with increasing stream order.

    Stream Order (Su): Stream ordering is the first step of quantitative analysis of
    the
    watershed. The stream ordering systems has first advocated by Horton (1945),
    but Strahler
    (1952) has proposed this ordering system with some modifications. Author has
    been carried
    out the stream ordering based on the method proposed by Strahler, Table 1
    (Figure 3). It has
    observed that the maximum frequency is in the case of first order streams. It has
    also noticed
    that there is a decrease in stream frequency as the stream order increases.
    STRAHLER
    The method of stream ordering proposed by strahler in 1952. stream order only
    increases when streams of the same order intersect . Therefore , the
    intersection of a first order and second order link will remain second order link.
    rather than create a third order link.
    SHREVE
    The method of stream ordering by magnitude , proposed by shreve in 1967. All
    links with no tributaries are assigned a magnitude order of one.Magnitude are
    additive downslope. when two links intersect , their magnitude are added and
    assigned to the downslope link .
