This occupation was not planned for and the area in the low land, belonging to the old part of the town, can be flooded in the raining season. We suggest that land use should be planned in arder to contrai tlood risk in the low parts of the watershed.porAcesso AbertoHidrologia urbanaPlanejamento urbanoUrbanizaçãoUrban hidrologyUrban planningUrbanizationArtigo10.5216/bgg.v22i2.15385
