CONTRIBUIÇÕES DO PROCESSAMENTO DIGITAL DE IMAGENS PARA A ANÁLISE AMBIENTAL DA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIO PARDO/SP

The study of hydrological phenomena is an important source of information about the water behavior, providing valuable subsidies for water resources management at local, regional and global scales. In the present work, was performed a critical-constructive analysis of the products generated by digital satellite image processing of the Basin Hydrographic of Pardo, in the region of the Water Resources Management Unit-04 of the State of São Paulo. The analysis of the elaborated thematic maps demonstrated as main attribute of the delimited area for study the fact that most of its territory is composed of flat or gently undulating relief areas, as well as sub-basins that present high slopes, a combination responsible for directly influencing the accumulation of the flow of its water resources, which significantly
