ESTUDO DE INDICADORES DE RISCOS AMBIENTAIS DA SUB- BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIBEIRÃO DO CARMO – PORTO NACIONAL(TO)
Resumo
A pesquisa trata do estudo de indicadores de riscos ambientais da
sub-bacia hidrográfica do ribeirão do Carmo, no município de Porto
Nacional, estado do Tocantins/Brasil, visa caracterizar os aspectos
físicos, através de parâmetros morfométricos (comprimento dos rios,
índice de circularidade da bacia, hierarquização da drenagem, densidade
de rios, densidade de drenagem, coeficiente de manutenção), e contribui
para novos estudos que venham ao encontro de propostas de conservação
dessa sub-bacia. Para sua concretização, obedeceu-se a uma metodologia
de execução baseada em levantamento bibliográfico e cartográfico,
seguido de trabalho de campo para reconhecimento da área e entrevista
com os moradores de Porto Nacional, com vista à percepção dos mesmos
sobre a instalação da UHE do Lajeado. O material cartográfico foi
digitalizado e vetorizado para obtenção dos dados morfométricos, através
de softwares específicos de geoprocessamento. Os resultados indicam que
naturalmente, a sub-bacia do ribeirão do Carmo não apresenta riscos
ambientais significativos. Entretanto, as atividades implementadas
exercem expressivas modificações na mesma, que implicam em perdas no que
se refere ao capital natural e moral(ético) e cultural.

Study of indicators of environmental risks of the hydrographic
sub-basin of the Carmo Stream – Porto Nacional (TO)
The research deals with the study of indicators of environmental risks of sub-basin of the stream of Carmo, in the city of Porto Nacional, Tocantins State / Brazil, to characterize the physical aspects, through morphometric parameters (the length of the rivers, the index of the basin circularity, hierarchy of drainage, the density of rivers, the coefficient of maintenance), and it contributes to new studies that meet the proposed conservation goals of this sub-basin. For its realization, it obeys an implementation methodology based on literature and mapping survey, followed by field work for recognition of the area and interviewing the residents of Porto Nacional, overlooking the perception about the installation of paved UHE. The map material was scanned and vectorized to obtain the morphometric data, using specific software of geoprocessing. The results indicate that, naturally, the sub-basin of the stream of Carmo does not present significant environmental risks. However, the activities implemented exert significant modifications to it, involving losses in relation to natural capital and moral (ethical) and cultural.
