Geoprocessamento na caracterização física da bacia sedimentar do baixo curso do Rio Paraíba.

Abstract

Spatial characteristics of data are very important for the most problems in water resources management. The visualization of data through spatial layers makes easier the general comprehension of some aspects in the decision making. Physical characterization of regions includes a lot of spatial and non-spatial information and it can be best managed by new geotechnologies. Remote Sensing and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) techniques can be used producing, collecting, overlaying and analyzing all information related. This work presents some first studies of characterization of part of a sedimentary basin where is located the down course of Paraiba River. This research is inside in a bigger research group of groundwater management in Brazil.
