<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>

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.

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

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.

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.

AbstractFloods in Ghana have become a perennial challenge in the major cities and communities located in low-lying areas. Therefore, cities and communities located in these areas have been classified as potential or natural flood-prone zones. In this study, the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the Accra Metropolis was used to assess the drainage density and elevation patterns of the area. The annual population estimation data and flood damages were assessed to understand the damages and population trend. This research focused primarily on the elevation patterns, slope patterns, and drainage density of the Accra Metropolis. Very high drainage density values, which range between 149 and 1117 m/m2, showed very high runoff converging areas. High drainage density was also found to be in the range of 1117–1702 m/m2, which defined the area as a high runoff converging point. The medium and low converging points of runoff were also found to be ranging between 1702–2563 m/m2 and 2563–4070 m/m2, respectively. About 32% of the study area is covered by natural flood-prone zones, whereas flood-prone zones also covered 33% and frequent flood zones represent 25%. Areas in the Accra Metropolis that fall in the Accraian and Togo series rock types experience high floods. However, the lineament networks (geological structures) that dominate the Dahomeyan series imply that the geological structures in the Dahomeyan series also channel the runoffs into the low-lying areas, thereby contributing to the perennial flooding in the Accra Metropolis.

AbstractSpatial variability of river network drainage density (Dd) is a key feature of river systems, yet few existing global hydrography datasets have properly accounted for it. Here, we present a new vector-based global hydrography that reasonably estimates the spatial variability of Dd worldwide. It is built by delineating channels from the latest 90-m Multi-Error-Removed Improved Terrain (MERIT) digital elevation model and flow direction/accumulation. A machine learning approach is developed to estimate Dd based on the global watershed-level climatic, topographic, hydrologic, and geologic conditions, where relationships between hydroclimate factors and Dd are trained using the high-quality National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlusV2) data. By benchmarking our dataset against HydroSHEDS and several regional hydrography datasets, we show the new river flowlines are in much better agreement with Landsat-derived centerlines, and improved Dd patterns of river networks (totaling ~75 million kilometers in length) are obtained. Basins and estimates of intermittent stream fraction are also delineated to support water resources management. This new dataset (MERIT Hydro–Vector) should enable full global modeling of river system processes at fine spatial resolutions.

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.
