Caracterização morfométrica da bacia hidrográfica do açude grande em Campo Maior, Piauí

Abstract

The study addresses the morphometric characterization of the Açude Grande Hydrographic Basin, in Campo Maior, Piauí, highlighting its environmental and socioeconomic relevance. Given the challenges associated with water scarcity and environmental degradation caused by disorderly urbanization, the work seeks to provide technical support to assist in the sustainable planning and management of the region's water resources. The research uses geotechnology tools, such as QGIS and Google Earth Pro, to analyze the physical and geomorphological aspects of the basin. The methodology includes the analysis of topographic data and satellite images, allowing the delimitation of the study area, the identification of the drainage network and the generation of thematic maps that facilitate the understanding of the basin's characteristics. Based on these data, the study contributes to the understanding of the region's environmental and water dynamics, reinforcing the importance of integrating this information into territorial planning and the formulation of public policies. The morphometric approach used has proven to be efficient in identifying potential environmental risks and conservation opportunities, promoting a more rational and sustainable use of natural resource.
