Abstract
Digital technology helps to visualize the natural potentiality of the landscapes that exist on the earthly surface. Indeed, information is more significant with fieldwork. The interpretation of the images through the application of the image segmentation function, available in the SPRING 5.5.5 software, granted the understanding of natural landscapes in the Pacoti River Watershed, precisely in the Baturité Residual Massif. Thus, geoprocessing may act as a mitigating tool in nature conservation since this tool reveals the diversity in nature and its uses.
Highlights
Ceará comprises 184 municipalities in its totality, of which 175 are inside the Ceará semi-arid polygon
There was the production of maps of the natural landscape units. 1.1 Technical and Methodological-Operational Guidance The research has foundations on the General System Theory proposed by the German biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy in 1930, based on the Pacoti River Watershed
Data were collected from rainfall stations over 20 years at the Fundação Cearense de Meteorologia (Meteorology Foundation of Ceará, FUNCEME, (2020) in the municipalities of Aquiraz and adjacent areas, which is part of the behavioral analysis of the rainfall regime in the area
Summary
Ceará comprises 184 (one hundred and eighty-four) municipalities in its totality, of which 175 (one hundred and seventy-five) are inside the Ceará semi-arid polygon. 1.1 Technical and Methodological-Operational Guidance The research has foundations on the General System Theory proposed by the German biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy in 1930, based on the Pacoti River Watershed In this perspective, when making a geographic study, it is necessary to use the concept of system to understand the complex issues as they are interdependent, that is, the variable natural units inserted in the study area (Dourado, 2021; Dourado et al, 2021) in a systemic approach, watersheds integrate a joint vision of the behavior of natural conditions and human activities developed in them, since significant changes in any of these units can generate changes, effects, and negative or positive impacts. They unfold in the relief and results in the interaction of social actions originating the derived landscapes
