Abstract

This project aims to obtain the research training scholarship abroad offered by FAPESP (BEPE - Mestrado). It has as its central objective the search for techniques to improve the analysis of precipitation, as well as distribution and its direct influence on the hydrological regimen. Once the regular project under development in Brazil (2012/06637-8), which this is linked aims to discuss the spatio -temporal analysis of river runoff in river basins Aguapeí and Peixe, located on west of São Paulo state. It is noted that this proposal comes as an instrument to add higher quality in regular project. It is hoped that this experience abroad also adds greater knowledge and that it can be disseminated later in the research Grupo de pesquisa Interações na superfície terrestre, água e atmosfera (GAIA) (AU)
