Abstract

This work presents the methodology used in the elaboration of the erosion susceptibility map of São Paulo State, at the 1:250.000 scale. This map is one of the results of the Project "Orientations for the erosion control in the São Paulo State", which has been, jointly conducted by the Departamento de Águas e Energia Elétrica and the Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas do Estado de São Paulo - IPT, with technical cooperation of Instituto Agronômico de Campinas - IAC and Instituto de Pesquisas Espaciais - INPE. The synthesis map of the erosion processes in the state of São Paulo (in conclusion), stresses areas with different erosion properties, considering the natural tendency of production of sediments and consequent silting of water courses. These informations permit an evaluation of the impact of erosion processes on surficial water resources.
