Morpho physiographic characterization of the Samambaia creek's watershed, Goiânia-GO. Científica, Jaboticabal, v. 43, n. 3, p. 197-202, 2015.1984-5529http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/13760Delimitation of watersheds and its morpho physiographic features are common practices used in hydrologic and environmental analysis. The aim of this paper was to analyze the Samambaia`s watershed and determine its morpho physiographic characteristics and track modifications made on land use throughout the years. Altimetry data was provided by SRTM radar program, compiled in a GIS created to store, process and analyze all the available data. A digital elevation model (DEM) was created from the SRTM image and used to delimitate the watershed. Final analysis of the morpho physiographic characteristics showed that Samambaia’s watershed has a low propitious for floods. The region also showed intensification of urban areas when considering the last 25 years (≈20%).porAcesso AbertoMorphometricUse and occupationPhysiographicFisiografiaMorfometriauso e ocupaçãoArtigo10.15361/1984-5529.2015v43n3p197-202
