CARACTERIZA O FISIOGRáFICA DA BACIA DE DRENAGEM DO CóRREGO JANDAIA, JANDAIA DO SUL/PR

The present article introduces the physiographic characterization of the watershed of Jandaia stream – Jandaia do Sul / PR. The study was effected through of compiling bibliographical-map data and fieldwork. For the data manipulation were used the software Spring and spreadsheet Calc, being analyzed a series of morphometric parameters as elements clinographic; hypsometric, drainage density, arrangement of parts, longitudinal profile, among others. The area has steep slopes especially in the vicinity of the springs that associated with high rainfall in the region and promote the urban mass movement processes on the slopes and deposition of materials tecnogenic in the valley bottoms. The basin is important for the city has seen to be one of the only areas with potential for urban sprawl, which has been widely employed in recent years. Therefore, the land use of the area should be planned so as not to compromise the water quality of river and watershed.
