Implementation of a small forested experimental basin: case study of the Araponga river basin

ABSTRACT

The objective of the present paper was to detail important aspects that should be considered for the selection and characterization of a forested experimental basin. Furthermore, the implementation of a hydrological monitoring system, focusing on runoff, rainfall, and tensiometric monitoring, was detailed. The description was based on the experience obtained in the case study of experimental Araponga basin river (ARA), located in the city of Rio Negrinho (SC). Points located on springs and river confluences were surveyed. Using these points, a drainage network closer to reality could be extracted from the base map at 1:10,000 scale. The determination of adequate locality of hydrological monitoring equipment was possible only with the topographic survey at 1:5,000 scale.
