Abstract

The aim of this project is to analyze the hydrosedimentological dynamic of Aguapeí and Peixe Rivers, discussing the results from a Spatio-temporal perspective. The Aguapeí and Peixe rivers watershed are located in the west of São Paulo state, covering administrative regions of Marília and Presidente Prudente cities. Given the environment and socioeconomic relevance of the basin to the municipalities which comprise its Hydrographic Region, the project justified it is a relevant resource in the comprehension of processes and dynamics, which acts in its fluvial drainages, as elements exerting influence on the establishment of this system. To execute the research sample will be collected over three transversal sections of Aguapeí and Peixe Rivers, using located sampling points along with the low, medium, and high course rivers. The data collection will be executed during a year, from a seasonal perspective. (AU)
