Testing Topographic equilibrium between the Ganga and the Narmada River systems, central Indian forebulge (Chi analysis data).

This data contains the .csv files which are generated in order to find the Chi metrics, Normalized steepness index and best fit theta value for the rivers flowing (viz, Chambal, Sindh, Betwa, Ken, Tamas, Son and Narmada river systems) on the central Indian plateau. The data belongs to the paper titled "Testing Topographic equilibrium between the Ganga and the Narmada River systems, central Indian forebulge" that is in review process.

We have used the program "LSDTopoTools" to generate these dataset. The files having prefix "parv_125_" are generated for a DEM of 125m resolution whereas the ones with prefix "3apr_90" are generated for the 90 m resolution DEM. These datasets are used to find out the best fit theta value (Concavity index) for the rivers flowing on the central Indian plateau. These datasets are further converted to simplified figures using Python programming. The file having the name "ind_2k_50_MChiSegmented.csv" is the final dataset which is used to generate maps of the Chi metrics and Normalized steepness values using a GIS software.
