    <abstract language="eng">&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the present study an attempt has been made to delineate and characterized various geomorphic unit in part of the Yamuna river basin, around Etmadpur area of Agra district, Uttar Pradesh. The drainage, contour and delineated geological units have been overlaid on IRS-1D-LISS-III imagery (bands 2, 3 and 4) to delineate and characterize different geomorphic units. The information generated from the satellite data in the form of vector layers has been used in GIS to generate geomorohological map of the study area. The various geomorphological units viz; ravinous land, sand bar, younger alluvium, paleochannel, older alluvium, recent flood plain, older undulating surface have been delineated. The study area is characterized by alluvium (an admixture of gravel, sand, silt and clay) of the Quaternary age deposited over the rocks belonging to the Vindhyan Supergroup. The present study demonstrates that IRS-1D-LISS-III data in conjunction with drainage and contour parameters enable a detailed evaluation of various geomorphological units in order to utilize for evaluation and management of natural resources.&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;
