“…The degree of environmental degradation is characterized as information of great importance for territorial management actions. Through it, it is possible to identify the places that have greater restrictions on activities that may cause environmental impacts, in addition to the identi cation of areas that can be used in a sustainable way (Carvalho et al, 2021), evidencing the importance of this study.…”

Changes in land use have been occurring in a continuous and disorderly way in recent decades due to rapid population growth and the growing demand for food. These constant changes result in a series of deleterious effects to the environment, especially to water resources, signi cantly changing their availability and quality. This study aims to evaluate the degradation potential of watersheds through an evaluation of some environmental indicators using arithmetic means to construct an index called in this research "Index of Potential Environmental Degradation" (IPED). To form the IPED, the hydrographic subbasins of the Sorocabuçu River, located in the central west of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, comprised the study area. The results showed that most hydrographic sub-basins, that is, eight units, present degradation values ranging from moderate to very high, resulting mainly from low conservation values of forests plus a use destined to the planting of temporary cultures depending on good physical conditions.On the other hand, only one sub-basin showed a low degradation value. The methodology used for the development of the IPED is easy to apply and an effective tool for environmental analyses. It may contribute to studies and forms of planning and land use management aiming the conservation of water resources and protected areas and reduction of degradation.
