The aim of this short note is to test whether the morphological skeletal ne
twork (MSN) of water bodies that resembles a river network follows Horton's
laws. A fractal relationship of MSN of a water body is also shown. This in
vestigation shows that the MSN of the Nizamsagar reservoir follows Horton '
s laws. Furthermore, this reservoir has a fractal dimension (D-m) of 1.92 w
hich was computed by using two morphometric quantities and the fractal dime
nsion of the main skeletal length (d). This value tallies exactly with the
fractal dimension (D-f) of the whole MSN computed through box-counting meth
od.
