This study focuses on analyzing the morphometric and morphological characteristics of the Talas River basin using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) data. In this article, morphometric parameters of rivers, morphometric, morphological, and landscape characteristics of the catchment using modern GIS and RS methods were determined. These parameters are vital for understanding hydrological processes and effective water resource management. The study emphasizes the need for updating outdated hydrological data to reflect changes in land use and river systems over time. By integrating GIS and RS, this research highlights new opportunities for a comprehensive analysis of river basins, facilitating improved monitoring of long-term changes. The findings underscore the significance of morphometric analysis in the planning and management of water resources and the design of engineering structures, particularly in the context of sustainable development and climate change. This analysis not only aids in flood forecasting but also contributes to informed decision-makers regarding resource allocation and environmental conservation. The results aim to enhance understanding of hydrological dynamics and provide a framework for future studies in water resource management.
