Resumo

The hydrological behavior of watersheds derives mainly from the processes of climate variability and land use, and thus, may be affected by human action. The João Leite river is the main source of water supply of Goiânia, in addition to providing water to multiple uses throughout the basin. In the last decades, this catchment have been pass for intensive changes in land use, and recently, with the increasing pressure on water resources, conflicts because the relative scarcity of water quantity and quality, have been reported among users. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the trend of hydrological variables between 1975 and 2005; to test the semivariograma model spherical, exponential and Gaussian, adjusted by the method of weighted least squares in the mapping by kriging of monthly and annual average precipitation; classify the land use between 1979 and 2005, establishing the qualitative and quantitative association of the flow rate with the land use and climate variability and finally, assess the available water produced by the combination of different flow rates of reference and criteria for award. For this, we used satellite images from the years of 1979, 1989, 1997 and 2005, data flow from the Captação João Leite gauging station and rainfall from 14 stations, provided by National Water Agency of Brazil. It was found a good performance of geostatistics techniques to map the average monthly and annual precipitation, with emphasis on exponential model that show the best fit. The land use was marked by 17.8% of the deforestation, expansion of the urbanization and agriculture at 6.6 and 15.2% respectively, and expressive area of grassland, about 40% over of time. The declining trend observed in the flow can be explained, in part, by the reduction of the rain rate, however, due to the significant increase in stream water collected at João Leite river and lack of historical records, there was difficulty in the qualitative association between flow rate and land use, however, quantitative analysis models show coefficients of determination (R ²) above 0.75. It was noted that the establishment of a single value for the flow of reference, regardless in irrational use of water. The adoption of the monthly reference flow show highly promising alternative to optimize the use of surface water resources in the João Leite watershed, and consequently, to the Goiás state, providing 40% more water than that provided by the criterion of single value.
