O histórico de ocupação da sub-bacia do rio Gavião passou por transformações socioeconômicas expressivas nos últimos 30 anos. Desse modo,preocupações com preservação ou recuperação da cobertura vegetal influência, positivamente, na manutenção do ciclo hidrológico da sub-bacia. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a modificação da vegetal natural entre os anos de 1988a 2015 na sub-bacia hidrográfico do rio Gavião (semiárido brasileiro). Foram utilizados as técnicas sensoriamento remoto e Processamento Digital de Imagens - PDI para aquisição e processamento dos produtos orbitais (satélites landsat5 TM e landsat 8 OLI). E o Sistema de Informações Geográficas – SIG para armazenamento e análise do banco de dados alfanumérico georreferenciado. Os resultados indicam redução da cobertura vegetal de 751,69 km², entre os anos de 1988 a 2015. Também, manchas de desmatamento em áreas de nascentes, na parte alta da rede de drenagem e no dessegue do canal principal. Assim, a presente pesquisa chama atenção para os efeitos da mudança da vegetação natural para outros usos da terra (solo exposto, plantio, entre outros), a concentração do desmatamento em áreas de fragilidade ambiental. Palavras-chave: Landsat; Desmatamento; Semiárido brasileiro.   GEOTECHNOLOGIES AS SUPPORT FOR ANALYSIS OF NATURAL VEGETATION IN THE HYDROGRAPHIC BASIN OF HAWK RIVER (1988 A 2015) Abstract  The occupation history of the Hawk River sub-basin underwent significant socioeconomic transformations in the last 30 years. Thus, concerns for preservation or recovery of vegetation cover positively influence the maintenance of the sub-basin's hydrological cycle. The present research had as objective to analyze the modification of the natural vegetal between the years of 1988 to 2015 in the hydrographic sub-basin of the river Gavião (semi-arid Brazilian).The techniques of remote sensing and Digital Image Processing (PDI) were used for the acquisition and processing of orbital products (landsat 5 TM and landsat 8 OLI satellites). The Geographic Information System - GIS for storage and analysis of the georeferenced alphanumeric database. The results indicate a reduction of the vegetal cover of 751,69 km ², between the years of 1988 to 2015. In addition, deforestation patches in areas of springs, in the upper part of the drainage network and in the main canal deregulation. Thus, the present research draws attention to the effects of changing natural vegetation to other land uses (exposed soil, planting, among others), the concentration of deforestation in areas of environmental fragility.  Keywords: Landsat; deforestation; Brazilian semi-arid.   GEOTECNOLOGÍA COMO SOPORTE PARA EL ANÁLISIS DE VEGETACIÓN NATURAL DE LA SUBCUENCA DEL RÍO GAVILÁN (1988 A 2015) Resumen La historia de laocupación de lasub-cuencadelrío Gavião fue sometido a importantes cambios socioeconómicos enlos últimos 30 años.

Abstract The consequences of prolonged precipitation-deficient periods are primarily substantial water deficit, with the spatial characteristics of a place being (semi)arid, and various socioeconomic factors worsening its impacts and deepening poverty among agrarian communities.This study utilizes a combination of climate, remote sensing and field survey data from farmers to obtain a first-hand information on the impacts of recent (2015 and 2017) droughts on crop yield in Raya Azebo and Endamehoni woredas in Ethiopia. Annual rainfall, kiremt rainfall, annual NDVI and Dev-NDVI, kiremt season Dev-NDVI, monthly Dev-NDVI (for June to October), and monthly SPI-1, SPI-3 and SPI-12 (for June to October) were considered as likely factors that could relate with yield and yield loss in the area. Correlation and multiple linear stepwise regression statistical techniques were used to determine drought-yield relationships, and identify more accurate predictors of yield and yield losses in each of the drought years.Results obtained show droughts as having spatiotemporal variations and impacts, with its primary and common reflection being reduced vegetation amount, translating to crop failures, food shortages and reduced income of smallholders.Spate irrigation should be further popularized in the low-lying areas of Raya Azebo to augment for future deficiencies in the kiremt rainfall.
