Abstract

This work aims to characterize the Castelhano stream basin and its relationship with the municipality of Venâncio Aires/RS, Brazil. The authors describe how the geomorphological nature of this basin and the use of land in rural and urban areas have an influence on the quality of the stream’s water as well as on its flow rate and flooding events. The analysis of morphological indices and geomorphology shows that the stream basin has flooding tendencies in its middle stretch. The authors concluded that, due to geomorphology and land use, the area with the greatest possibility of intervention in terms of flooding episodes is located in the urban area of the municipality and in the rural areas close to it, which are areas of low declivity.
