In this study, morphometric analyzes of basins of these rivers were carried out using Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques in order to determine their flooding potentials. In morphometric analyzes, the parameters most affected from hydrometeorological and geological factors (e.g., drainage density and stream frequency) and the hypsometric integral describing the geomorphologic developmental stage of the basin, were selected. GIS-based calculations shown that the areas covered by the Mezitli and Müftü basins are 168.71 km2 and 468.64 km2, respectively. Results of the morphometric analyzes revealed that drainage densities are 2.23 and 1.66, stream frequency values are 3.04 and 1.81, and hypsometric integral values are 0.41 and 0.59 for the Mezitli and Müftü basins, respectively. The basins with low drainage density and stream frequency values generally present slow surface flows and have low flooding potentials, compared to the basins with high drainage density and stream frequency values, which have a higher probability of flooding. When the drainage density and stream frequency values of the basins in the study area are examined, it is found that the probability of flooding in the Mezitli basin is much higher than the Müftü basin. Considering the hypsometric integral values of the basins, it is seen that the Müftü basin is in the youth phase and very sensitive to erosion, and the Mezitli basin is in the equilibrium phase and erosional processes are relatively slow.
