%X This study aims to investigate the causes behind the constant flooding in the Biga River basin. It aims to determine if the river sub-basins¡¯s morphometric features was the reason behind the floods. Historical data from previous floodings were used to create the linear (one-dimensional), areal (two-dimensional), and relief (three-dimensional) morphometric properties of the sub-basins. These parameters were then evaluated quantitatively and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with 10 m resolution produced from 1:25000 scale topography maps as the base data. The D8 flow and Strahler methods were alos used as part of this study. The values obtained from the sub-basins of the Biga River were then weight and the potential to generate floods on the main stream of the sub-basins were evaluated. Our final conclusion indicates that the Biga sub-basin has indeed a major effect on flooding of the main channel of the Biga River
