Definição das áreas de perigo de inundação do rio Vacacaí no município de São Gabriel, RS
Resumo
A importância de estudos e mapeamentos relacionados às inundações
é observada pelo expressivo aumento das pesquisas nas últimas décadas. O
município de São Gabriel, no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, possui mais
de 80% de sua população na área urbana. Parte desta população se
localiza no entorno do Rio Vacacaí e tem sido afetada seguidamente por
inundações. Este estudo teve por objetivo o mapeamento das áreas com
suscetibilidade e perigo de inundação na área urbana de São Gabriel. Os
procedimentos metodológicos envolveram o levantamento e o processamento
de imagens de satélite e dados topográficos que permitiram a análise e a
síntese dos mapas e informações derivadas. A partir da análise de um
recorte temporal de trinta anos verificou-se que em dezesseis anos há
registros de inundações. No total destes dezesseis anos de eventos foram
registrados trinta e dois casos em que a população foi afetada com
inundações. A área total de suscetibilidade é 3,57 Km², representando
7,75% de toda a área urbana. As áreas de perigo cobrem 0,62 Km²,
representando 17,36% da suscetibilidade e 1,34% da área urbana do
município. Este mapeamento representa uma importante ferramenta para
subsidiar a prevenção e a redução de desastres naturais associados às
inundações na área de estudo.
Abstract
DEFINITION OF FLOOD HAZARD AREAS VACACAÍ RIVER IN THE CITY OF SAN GABRIEL, RS
The importance of studies related to flooding and mappings can be observed by the significant increase in research in recent decades. The municipality of São Gabriel, Rio Grande do Su State, has more than 80% of its population in urban areas. Part of this population is located in the nearness of Rio Vacacaí and has subsequently been affected by flood events. This study aims to map the areas with susceptibility and hazard of flooding in the urban area of São Gabriel. The methodological procedures involved the inventory of events, collection and processing of satellite images and topographic data. The analysis and synthesis of information derived from maps. From the analysis of the thirty years it was found that in sixteen years have records of flooding. A total of sixteen years of events were recorded thirty- -two where the population was affected with floods. The total susceptibility area is 3.57Km², representing 7.75% of the entire urban area. The danger areas are added to 0.62Km², representing 17.36% within the susceptibility and 1.34% compared to the urban area. This mapping is an important tool to help prevent and reduce natural disasters associated with floods in the study area.
