Abstract

Geoprocessing Applied in the Estimate of Infiltration and Surface Runoff in HPP’s Contribution Watershed

Highlights

  • The methodology consisted in evaluating the effects resulting from the occurrence of rainfall events in view of the conditions of relief, soil type, cover and use, as well as antecedent moisture conditions (AMC) in the spatial variability of the estimates of infiltration potential, effective precipitation and peak flow

  • Relating the length of the strand with the length of the channels, it can be seen that the channels are up to 15 times more extensive than the flows lines developed along the strand

  • The morphometric and pedological conditions related to soil cover, use, and management, suggest hydrographic systems with high hydrological potential, as well as considerable travel time, especially for the four higher-order channels

Summary

Introduction

In addition to the ecosystemic functions, we highlight the use of these resources in activities such as navigation, irrigated agriculture, tourism and leisure, public supply and, especially, energy generation [2]. This is a complex but necessary equation; since observing the climatological and hydrological conditions of each area, it seeks to contemplate the most diverse activities, given the importance played by each of them
