Uso do geoprocessamento na avaliação de potencialidades hídricas subterrâneas - Boa Vista (PB): um estudo de caso.

Abstract

The area object of this research encompasses the entire territory of the municipality of Boa Vista. Paraíba State, wedged in the northeastern semi-arid region. It has a scarce potential of surface water resources, evidenced by the temporality of its watercourses and the insufficient availability of water in small and medium size reservoirs, conditioned by factors such as low rainfall. very irregular spatio-temporal distribution, and the high evaporation rate. From this limiting natural condition. There is increasing evidence of the exploitation of groundwater resources, formed by the crystalline aquifer system, which represents the entire study area.
