This study aimed to perform the Jauquara river watershed morphometric characterization. To watershed delimitation was used SRTM 30 type Digital Elevation Model (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, with spatial resolution of 30 m) provided by USGS Earth Explorer platform. The geographic information system used to watershed delimitation process and maps generation was ArcGIS 10.1 from ESRI®. The morphometric variables calculus was based on classic methodologies of Applied Hydrology. The watershed has an area of 1408,03 km2 and perimeter of 288,43 km with compactness coefficient and circularity index of Kc = 2.15 and Ic = 0.21, respectively, which show an elongated shape. The drainage was classified as 5th order, reinforcing the configuration of the drainage network with a wide hydric distribution. The predominant altitude range is between 368 and 552 m, which corresponds to an area of 478.10 km2. It was observed that there is a predominance of smooth-wavy and undulated reliefs (3-8%, 8-20% slope), which correspond to 38,05% and 23,04% of the total basin area respectively. The morphometric characterization of the basin made it possible to obtain unpublished information that contributes to the decision making regarding the effective water management in the studied area, being this a guiding study for other works

Morphometric Characterization

The morphometric characterization of watersheds has great importance and appliance for the prediction of phenomena such as floods. The objective of this study was to delimitate and characterize morphometrically the hydrographic basins that encompass the urban area of the Municipality of Dourados / MS – Brazil, which derived from estimated physical variables obtained by applying a license-free GIS software. Based on a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), the following microcatchment characteristics were determined: area, perimeter, slope, altitude, and watercourse orders. Four morphometric parameters that express a direct or inverse relationship with the water quantity factors of a hydrographic source were calculated and analyzed, being them: compactness coefficient, shape factor, circularity index, and drainage density. By comparing the studied basin results, it was observed that Água Limpa, Água Boa, and Laranja Azeda basin streams are more susceptible to flooding, especially considering the measurement factor and drainage density.

Morphometric Characterization

The relief forms, terrain differences, soil type and flora are the most important indicators for the description of a river basin or drainage network. The present work had as objectives, to perform the morphometric characterization of the hidrographic sub-basin (SBH) of the Espinharas river; analyze the intensity of land use; suggesting mitigating measures in areas with greater intensity of use, with the help of geospatial tools. The sub-basin of the Espinharas river, extends through thirty-one (31) municipalities, covering the states of Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte and Pernambuco. For the analysis, images were used, from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM), and Landsat 8 satellite images, resolution 30 m, bands 2, 3 and 4. Next, with QGIS software aid 2.18.17 generated the map of slope, mapping of intensity and land use, later calculations of the morphometric variables, and finally elaborated proposals of mitigating measures for the degradation of the sub-basin. The results of the morphometric parameters found for the Sub-basin indicate values of the Compass coefficient of 2.68 and Form factor 0.32, indicating that the sub-basin presents an irregular shape that differs from the figure of a circle, approaching an elongated shape, and thus not conducive to flooding. In relation to the intensity of use, the areas with low intensity class of use have the largest representation in this basin, covering an area of 2,147.98 km² (65.27%). The Espinharas river sub-basin presents several nonconformities of environmental impacts generated mainly by bad planning of use of the area and disrespect to the legislation. In this case, it is necessary for research to support effective public policies that favor less impacting agricultural practices, allowing farmers to provide their livelihoods at the same time, allowing future generations to survive in the semi-arid.

<p>Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar a caracterização morfométrica da bacia hidrográfica do igarapé da Prata, localizado no município de Capitão Poço, Pará. Inicialmente gerou-se o Modelo Digital de Elevação a partir de SRTM com resolução espacial de 30 m, utilizando o sistema de informações geográficas, por meio do software ArcGis 10.1 e da extensão ArcHydro, foram calculados alguns parâmetros morfométricos para o estudo do comportamento hidrológico da bacia. A área de drenagem encontrada foi de 115,283 km² e o perímetro de 70,151 km. A bacia hidrográfica do igarapé da Prata tem formato alongado, coeficiente de compacidade de 1,829, fator de forma de 0,356 e índice de circularidade de 0,294. A densidade de drenagem obtida para a bacia foi de 0,525 km/km², com padrão dendrítico. A forma mais alongada da bacia hidrográfica indica que a precipitação pluviométrica sobre ela se distribui em diferentes pontos. De maneira geral, suas características morfométricas denotam um controle estrutural da drenagem eficiente, bem como menor risco de grandes cheias em condições normais de pluviosidade anual e topografia favorável ao escoamento superficial.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>Morphometric characterization of Prata catchment, Capitão Poço – Pará – Brazil</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> This study aimed to characterize the morphometric Prata catchment, located in the municipality of the Capitão Poço/PA. In order to do so, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), spatial resolution of 30 meters, using as database and analysis the system of geographic information, by means of the ArcMap 10.2 and ArcHydro systems. From this, some morphometric parameters of a previous study on the hydrologic behavior of the watershed were calculated. The drainage area was 115,283 km² and 70,151 km in perimeter. The Prata catchment was proven not easily subject to floods as the compacity coefficient was far from the unit (1,829) and its shape factor presented a low value (0,356). Such fact can still be proven by the circularity index value (0,294). The drainage density was 0,525 km/km². The drainage system forms a dendritic pattern. The more elongated watershed shape indicates that the rainwater volume that falls within the watershed is concentrated in different points. The morphometric characteristics denote a structural control of efficient drainage, lower risk of major floods in normal annual rainfall and topography favorable to runoff.</p>

A bacia hidrográfica do Riacho do Navio, em Pernambuco, tem importante papel ao atender as demandas hídricas de animais, culturas agrícolas e da população local, sendo fundamental estudá-la de maneira mais específica, a fim de que sejam geradas informações que subsidiem a gestão de seus recursos ambientais. O objetivo deste estudo foi delimitar a bacia hidrográfica do Riacho do Navio e descrever suas características morfométricas (forma, rede de drenagem e relevo) a partir de dados Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) processados no programa livre Quantum GIS (QGIS), via a ferramenta Terrain Analysis Using Digital Elevation Models (TauDEM). A bacia em questão possui 3.312,97 km2, sendo considerada de quinta ordem, com densidade de drenagem de 0,50 km km-2. Observou-se que a declividade média foi de 5,23%, sendo que mais de 86,61% da área da bacia apresentou declividades menores que 8%. O fator de forma, o coeficiente de compacidade e o índice de circularidade atingiram valores de 0,29; 2,10 e 0,22, indicando que a bacia possui formato alongado e, por conseguinte, baixa tendência a enchentes. Por outro lado, a sinuosidade e a declividade média do álveo podem favorecer a ocorrência de cheias em situações de chuvas intensas. O uso do QGIS e do TauDEM para tratamento de imagens SRTM se mostrou uma ferramenta eficiente, podendo auxiliar na gestão e no gerenciamento dos recursos hídricos da bacia do Riacho do Navio.   Delimitation and morphometric characterization of the hydrographic basin of Riacho do Navio, Pernambuco, based on SRTM data processed at QGIS A B S T R A C TThe Riacho do Navio watershed, in Pernambuco, has an important role in meeting the water demands of animals, agricultural crops and the local population, and it is essential to study it more specifically, in order to generate information that supports the management of its environmental resources. The objective of this study was to delimit the Riacho do Navio watershed and describe its morphometric characteristics (shape, drainage network and relief) from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data, processed in the free program Quantum GIS (QGIS), via the Terrain Analysis Using Digital Elevation Models (TauDEM) tool. The watershed in question has 3,312.97 km2, being considered of fifth order, with drainage density of 0.50 km km-2. It was observed that the average slope was 5.23%, with more than 86.61% of the watershed area showing slopes less than 8%. The shape factor, the compactness coefficient and the circularity index reached values of 0.29; 2.10 and 0.22, indicating that the watersehd has an elongated shape and, therefore, low tendency to flooding. On the other hand, the sinuosity and the average slope of the riverbed can favor the occurrence of floods in situations of intense rains. The use of QGIS and TauDEM for the treatment of SRTM images proved to be an efficient tool, which can assist in the management and administration of water resources in the Riacho do Navio watershed.Keywords: physiographic analysis, Hydrology, digital elevation model, Semiarid, TauDEM.

Os modelos digitais de elevação (MDE) representam produtos comuns para extração de informações de bacias hidrográficas. Neste trabalho, comparou-se produtos provenientes do SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) e do RTC (Radiometrically Terrain-Corrected) no que se refere à obtenção de características morfométricas e topográficas da bacia do rio Paraopeba, MG. Como fonte de referência e comparação para a delimitação da hidrografia e da bacia, utilizou-se dados mapeados adquiridos da ANA (Agência Nacional de Águas). Após a aquisição e processamento das imagens, procederam-se as análises qualitativas e quantitativas dos resultados. Verificou-se que os resultados obtidos das imagens foram semelhantes para todos os parâmetros morfométricos avaliados, tendo apresentado diferenças mais expressivas apenas em relação aos valores obtidos com a base de dados mapeados. Quanto às características topográficas consideradas, também foram obtidos resultados similares entre os dois produtos, constatando-se um ganho nos aspectos área, perímetro, declividade e sombreamento devido ao refinamento dos dados RTC em relação ao SRTM. Concluiu-se que ambos os produtos são aptos a serem aplicados em estudos relacionados à hidrologia, tanto para os parâmetros morfométricos, quanto para os topográficos, visto que os resultados do RTC foram similares aos do SRTM já amplamente aplicado na literatura.Palavra-chave: geoprocessamento, modelo digital de elevação, bacia hidrográfica. SRTM AND RTC PRODUCTS IN THE TOPOLOGICAL AND MORPHOMETRIC CHARACTERIZATION: A COMPARATIVE APPROACH ABSTRACT:Digital elevation models (MDE) represent trivial products for extracting information from river basins. The objective of this work was to compare the products from SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) and RTC (Radiometrically Terrain-Corrected) with regard to obtaining morphometric and topographic characteristics of the Paraopeba river basin, MG. A mapped data acquired from ANA (National Water Agency) was used as reference and comparison source for hydrographic and basin delineation. After the acquisition and processing of the images, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results were carried out. It was verified that the results obtained from the images were similar for all morphometric parameters evaluated, presenting difference more expressivily only in relation to the values obtained with the mapped database. As for the topographic characteristics considered, similar results were also obtained between the two products, showing a small difference in area, perimeter, declivity and shading aspects, due to the refinement of RTC data in relation to SRTM. It was concluded that both products are apt to be applied in studies related to hydrology, both for morphometric and topographic parameters, since the results of the RTC were similar to the SRTM, that is widely applied in the literature.Keywords: geoprocessing, digital elevation model, hydrographic basin. DOI:

Esse trabalho visa fazer a caracterização neotectônica da área de estudo por meio da análise morfológica da rede de drenagem e de cálculos morfométricos destinados à detecção de tectônica recente. A área em questão está localizada em um gráben pós-mioceno onde podem ser observados riscos geológico-geomorfológicos e impactos ambientais provenientes da intensa intervenção antropogênica. Para a realização desse estudo fez-se necessário uma pesquisa e o levantamento de dados pretéritos sobre a área de estudo tomando como base os dados obtidos por meio da vetorização das cartas topográficas de Goiana e Tejucupapo na escala de 1:25.000 com equidistância das curvas de nível de 10 m. Foram utilizadas técnicas de geoprocessamento para geração dos produtos cartográficos: cartas hipsométrica, de declividade e o Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE). Os cálculos morfométricos aplicados para a análise neotectônica foram o Índice Relação Declividade/Extensão (RDE) e o índice Razão Fundo/Altura de Vale (RFAV). Os resultados obtidos indicam uma forte influência neotectônica no padrão de drenagem da área, assim como também, fica evidenciado a interferência antropogênica presente na área investigada e suas adjacências.  A B S T R A C T This article aims to make neotectonics characterization of the study area by making the morphological analysis of the drainage network and morphometric calculations for the recent tectonics detection. The area in question is located in a post-Miocene graben where it can be observed geological and geomorphological hazards and environmental impacts from intense anthropogenic intervention. For the realization of this study was necessary research and survey of past data on the study area based on the data obtained through vectorization of topographic maps of Goiana and Tejucupapo on the scale of 1:25.000 with equidistance of 10 m curves level. Geoprocessing techniques were used for generation of cartographic products: hipsometric letters, slope and digital elevation model (DEM). Morphometric calculations applied to the neotectonic analysis were the Index Value Slope/Extension (RDE) and the index Reason Fund/Valley Height (RFAV). The results indicate a strong neotectonics influence in the drainage pattern of the area, as also evidenced anthropogenic interference present in the investigated area and its surroundings. Keywords: Graben of the Goiana River; neotectonics; anthropogenic interventions.

In recent years, the application of geomatics tools in archaeology has proved to be very useful to obtain meaningful knowledge of the 3D reconstruction of archaeological remains and semantic classification of the 3D surface. These techniques have proven to be an effective solution for the 3D modeling and the extraction of many spatial features on an archaeological site. However, novel methodologies as well as new data exploitation strategies are required to exploit these geospatial data for natural and cultural heritage documentation, monitoring, and preservation. In this paper, we have studied unique archaeological ruins, a Mozarab church in Al-Andalus, using high-resolution RGB images, which was taken by a drone. Thus, a 3D reconstruction of the ruins and the surrounding environment is carried out in order to characterize it on a dense point cloud. Then, a digital elevation model (DEM) was calculated in order to identify critical slope lines, which are significant to determine where the structure of the church was built. Our results can be used for the development of an architectural project and thus a virtual recreation of these archaeological ruins was performed.
