The present study aimed to carry out a morphometric analysis of the watershed of the Redenção stream in the municipality of Rio Branco, state of Acre. Satellite image was used as a basis for interpreting the characteristics of the basin, as well as for mapping land use and gauging linear and area measurements. In addition, Acre state databases were used in QGIS software to interpret soil type, geomorphology and geological formation. The main river in the basin is the Redenção stream, of fifth order. The basin has an area of 194.26 km² and a perimeter of 68.38 km, elongated shape and low susceptibility to flooding. There is a predominance of luvissolhypochromicorthic and eutrophic red argisol , lower sol imões geological formation and predominantly homogeneous relief, with little declivity. It has human occupation, with predominance of pasture areas and patches of urban occupation, in addition to scarce dense vegetation cover.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
