Vegetal cover interferes on hydrological processes of a watershed according to its structure, influencing the quantity and distribution of rainfall water. Forest, by its structure of canopy and root system, represents the highest potential of processes alteration, being recognized as a main hydrological processes controller, including the reduction of water yield due to its high evapotran…
This study is used the hydrological model of Fu (1981) based on the hypothesis Budyko (Budyko, 1948, 1974) relating to climate change and the impact on the streams flow from multiple locations in southeastern Brazil. The hypothesis is that this model can be validated with local data of southeastern Brazil, enabling the identification of critical factors to the stability of the water produ…
Forests have a large influence on the hydrological processes and they are the most important biotic component in the landscape for the conservation of hydrological processes. To describe the role of forests in the hydrological processes, it is necessary to understand the specific functions that it can offer, which encompass a set of environmental services. The riparian forest exerts an im…
Natural forest ecosystems are potentially the best land use to protect water resources, while agricultural practices tend to change physical, chemical and biological properties of waters. The use of forests as a management toll will only be consolidated in Brazil when we improve our understanding of the influence of land use change on stream water quality, as well as on the role that fore…

The loss of native vegetation in the last 30 years causes considerable damage to the provision of ecosystem services. Which concerns to hydrological services the offer is directly related to the conservation of soil and vegetation. Hydrological services can be classified as provisioning, regulating, cultural or support services and may vary with topographical gradient, vegetation composit…
Tropical streams have great importance due to their biodiversity, provision of essential ecosystem services for humans, but also because they are considered one of the ecosystems most threatened by changes in land use and climate. The riparian forest is an important component for the dynamics and functioning of streams, because these forests help to maintain their ecosystem processes, con…
Extraction of native vegetation and inadequate soil use cause damage to the ecosystem, increase soil erosion, and cause silting of rivers. Based on this, interventions for forest restoration can conserve soils and provide ecosystem services. Although we know the beneficial effect of the arboreal vegetation around the water resources, little is known about the effect of the forest restorat…
Climate change and its effects on water resources is discussed by many researchers, such impacts can be estimated through hydrological models by calibrating them with a historical climatic data from a given region. The hypothesis of this study is that once watersheds have different responsiveness to climate change, the effects of these changes will cause different levels of impact on wate…
Forest cover in Amazonia has been constantly changed by the expansion of economic activities, like unmanaged logging extraction and deforestation. These activities have reduced the amount of primary forests in the landscape, increasing the amount of degraded forests (by selective logging and forest fragmentation) and secondary forests (by forest regeneration after land abandonment of unpr…

Deforestation of native vegetation and inadequate soil use damage the ecosystem, increase soil erosion, and cause silting of rivers. Based on this, interventions for forest restoration can conserve soils and provide ecosystem services. Although the beneficial effect of tree vegetation around water resources is known, little is known about the effect of forest restoration on water regime a…
After deforestation and intensive cycles of agricultural uses on tropics, land abandonment has been allowed natural regeneration on less productive areas, what created small forests in secondary succession processes. In most of Atlantic Forest biome, is waited that these forests support essential ecosystem functions. Natural forests are recognized for providing several ecosystem services …
In Brazil, industrial tree plantations, mainly eucalyptus species, are a growing land use. Social and environmental concerns are related to fast-wood forestry. Water shortage due to reduced streamflow is one of the main impacts attributed to eucalyptus plantations, this is one of the reasons why they are a contentious land use in some places. Scientific evidence shows that many biophysica…
