Resumo: | Engenheiro Armando Ribeiro Gonçalves (ARG) reservoir is the largest in the state of Rio
Grande do Norte and plays a very important role in mitigating the severe conditions found in
the semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil. In addition to the climatic characteristics that
already make the semi-arid reservoirs more vulnerable, there is still pressure due to climate
change and land use and occupation along the basin. Considering the above and the
importance of the reservoirs in the socioeconomic development of the regions where they are
located, this work aims to evaluate the influence of precipitation and the evolution of land use
and cover in the Armando Ribeiro reservoir during the period from 1986 to 2021. Grid-point
precipitation data were used with a resolution of 0.05º × 0.05º provided by the Climate
Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation With Station (CHIRPS) and the historical series of the
reservoir volume was obtained from the Reservoir Monitoring System (SAR) of the National
Water and Basic Sanitation Agency (ANA). The methodology applied consisted of evaluating
the trend of seven extreme precipitation indices at a point downstream and one upstream of
the water body, then the Standardized Precipitation Index and the Cross-Correlation were
calculated. Lastly an evaluation of changes in land use and occupation around the reservoir
over the period was carried out. The results showed increased pressure from agricultural
activities, which can compromise the quality of the water in the reservoir and affect the
storage capacity, statistically significant lags between precipitation and the change in the
volume of the reservoir from one to three months. Regarding the extreme precipitation
indices, no statistically significant trends were obtained, which may be a consequence of the
high temporal variability of precipitation or the statistical method chosen to represent the
trend. |
