Meteorological and hydrological variables on occurrence of riverbank erosion along lower São Francisco river

Abstract: The objectives of this paper were to analyze the seasonal distributions of climatic and hydrological variables along the Lower São Francisco River, Northeastern Brazil, between the States of Sergipe and Alagoas, and further, to verify their relationships with the erosion of the right margin in Sergipe State. The investigated area comprises the sedimentary portions of the Lower São Francisco River, located at the CotinguibaPindoba Irrigated Perimeter. Historical records of variables such as rainfall, river stre… Show more

“…The river regulation by hydropower and the lake formed by the Xingó Dam acts as a huge detention storage, obscuring the dependencies between variables (Graf, 2006;Manyari & Carvalho Júnior, 2007;Coelho, 2008). Precipitations in the upper and middle sectors of the São Francisco River have mostly an indirect impact on the flow in the river through the runoff to the lower São Francisco River (Rocha et al, 2013). Most of the river flow downstream from the Xingó Dam lake (Figure 1) originates not only from the rainfall generated at the headwaters of the basin (Tucci, 2000), but also the rainfall that occurs within the middle-lower and lower São Francisco River sectors.…”

“…Além de alterações ligadas a biodiversidade, um aumento da erosão nas margens do rio pode ser observado, pois a alta vazão é responsável por levar o sedimento por todo a extensão do rio o que modela o canal no processo [27]. Como a frequência de eventos de cheia (alta vazão) ocorrem com menor incidência, observa-se um processo erosivo marcante no Baixo São Francisco [28,29].…”

“…Desse modo, os processos físicos e os elementos que controlam a erosão fluvial são essenciais para o entendimento do equilíbrio dos canais, tendo sido abordados em diversos estudos clássicos (Wolman, 1957;Langbein,1968;Knighton, 1973;Hooke, 1979), bem como em estudos contemporâneos (Stott, 2005;Rinaildi et al, 2008;Acharya e Gautam, 2012;Rocha et al, 2013). Apesar da literatura brasileira registrar poucos trabalhos referentes a esses processos, destacam-se os estudos realizados por Fernandez (1990), Magalhães (2010) e Rocha (2009).…”
