The study area is situated in the Barak Valley of Assam. It is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations of Surma, Tipam, Dupitila, Alluvium groups ranging in age from Lower Miocene (Tertiary) to Holocene (Quarternary).

The common drainage pattern is sub parallel to parallel and dendritic. Up to 4th order stream are found in the study area. In general, drainage pattern of the area is in conformity with the topography, which area structurally controlled.
