| Resumo: | The change of natural landscapes by anthropic activities is the main reason for the
deepening of erosion, negatively affecting natural resources and all environments. In this
context, it is necessary to know the processes that determine the hydrological balance to
avoid erosion. Due to the complexity of a basin and the necessity of making predictions,
the development of mathematical models is essential for decision making. When
integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS), these tools can couple the spacetime modeling in a single quantitative structure. Among the existing models, the Soil and
Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) can integrate the GIS technics with water balance
equations, becoming one of the most utilized models in the world for different purposes.
This study aims to evaluate the hydrological response and quantify the soil loss in a basin
(Ribeirão do Feijão, in the Brazilian southeast), using the SWAT + model. The simulation
was performed by dividing the basin into 31 sub-basins and assigning multiple HRUs
(5898). The metrics used to analyze the model's efficiency indicate that the results were
satisfactory, Nash-Sutcliffe (NSE) of 0.53 and 0.54 for calibration and validation of
streamflow, respectively. The other metrics used represented an excellent response,
demonstrating that the observed data and the model simulation correlated well and
followed similar patterns. For the production of sediments in the Ribeirão do Feijão Basin,
using the current scenario, with an increased presence of vegetation and reforestation, the
results indicated a lower production of sediments in most of the channels. Calibration was
not performed for sediments due to a lack of monitoring data. The model represented in
this study can help guide future planning for land use and occupation of the basin,
enabling the forecast of different scenarios and their possible impacts on water production. |
