| Abstract | The morphometric and hypsometric characterization of river basins allows a better understanding of its functioning as a system, facilitates the correlation with its characteristics, and potentiates several studies. The use of quantitative and qualitative methods to characterize a river basin allows a better understanding of its dynamics, therefore the use of several parameters is fundamental. This thesis presents the morphometric and hypsometric analysis and the automatic determination of hydrography and knickpoints in the Mirim Lagoon Basin. Mirim Lagoon basin is a transboundary basin, located in the Atlantic coast of South America, between parallels 31°S and 34°30’S and meridians 52°W and 55°30'W, with an area of 58,407.78 km, being 47% in Brazilian territory and 53% in Uruguayan territory. The analysis and acquisition of morphometric and hypsometric parameters and the determination of hydrography and knickpoints were performed with geoprocessing techniques, using the spatial analysis and data manipulation tools of the software ArcGIS, 10.2.2 version. We used 15 SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission) images, version 3, band C, with a spatial resolution of 1 arcsecond (1"), approximately 30 meters, to generate a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the study area. This model was validated by means of kinematic GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) survey post-processed using the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) method. The intended morphometric and hypsometric analysis and the determination of hydrography and knickpoints of Mirim Lagoon basin were performed using the DEM SRTM. The hydrography was obtained with the Model Builder and the hydrologic tools of ArcGis. And the knickpoints were determined using the Knickpoint Finder, a script in Python language integrated to ArcGis ArcToolbox The results show that the use of SRTM data in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) allows the characterization of the watersheds, which is useful for water resources management and for environmental studies, and prove to be a practical and viable alternative to minimize cost and time in the work execution. |
