Resumo

The Constant Flux: Constant Sedimentation (CF:CS) and Constant Rate of Supply (CRS) of unsupported/excess Pb-210 models have been applied to a Pb-210 data set providing of two sediments profiles (GUA-T1 and GUA-T2) sampled at Guarapiranga reservoir, in the Metropolitan Region of Sao Paulo city, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. Sedimentation rates obtained by the CF:CS model corresponded to 9.3-12.3 and 30 mg.cm(- 2)yr(- 1), respectively, for profiles GUA-T1 and GUA-T2, indicating a better chronological performance relatively to that of the CRS model in the study area, also allowing successful estimates of the P fluxes in the reservoir.
