The </em><em>morphometric parameters were derived from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) using ArcGIS. The result </em><em>revealed 433 contours with 100m intervals with less around Kwatas, Bokkos, and Butura and very high around Mushere west and central. The slope was very high around Mushere west/ central, Mangar/Damwai, Dafffo, Sha and Mangunahave moderate slope. In areas of Mushere, Mangar and Damwai runoff was high, soil erosion indicated sign of very high adverse effects on the environment. A</em><em>spect revealed red colour, North, orange Northeast and yellow colour tilt to the east while the green southeast. Hillshade was observed lesser in Mushere west/central, Damwai with a curvature map for soil erosion patterns and Vegetation covers were predominant certain areas of Bokkos and the study gave appropriate recommendation to agency concerned </em></p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Research in Social Science and Humanities (IJRSS) ISSN:2582-6220, DOI: 10.47505/IJRSS}, author={Joshua Yohanna Gwanshak and Emmanuel Samuel Danbauchi}, year={2021}, month={Apr.}, pages={1–6} }
