Comparative drainage order change map between reference year (1970–1977) and current year (2021–2024) of the seven watersheds: (a) Bodla (i-ii), (b) Banki (i-ii), (c) Danro (i-ii), (d) Katri (i-ii), (e) Khudia (i-ii), (f) Khudar (i-ii), and (g) Urmil (i-ii); the maps show decreasing stream order(s) from the reference year to current year due to the prevalence of anthropogenic alterations of geologic structures and geomorphologies, especially the agricultural diversions resulting in loss of stream number (Nu) and stream length (Lu). The maps were created using ArcGIS 10.2 software and the website is https://desktop.arcgis.com/.
