Uso das geotecnologias na análise da fisiografia e morfologia da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Ipojuca - PE.

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the physiographic and morphological characteristics of the Ipojuca River Basin - PE. The objective of this work is to analyze the physiography and morphology of the Hydrographic Basin (BHR-IP) of the Ipojuca River, to consolidate a database referring to BHR-IP with the use of computational tools for remote sensing and modeling in Geographic Information System (GIS). For the handling of morphometric and physiographic data, QGIS Software version 2.18 was used. The hydrographic basin of that river has a total area of approximately 3420.20 km2 with a perimeter of 1002.25 km, occupying 3.49% of the area of the state of Pernambuco. The basin has an elongated shape, a medium degree related to erosion processes, a wavy relief and a predominant average amplitude.
