Abstract

The Geographical Information Systems were used in this study, in order to develop a methodology for the identification, in sub-basin, the potential to generate hydroelectric energy. The study was carried out in the sub-basin of Turvo river, that is located of the Doce river basin. To obtaining the hydrologically consistent digital model (MDEHC), the following were used: altimetry and hydrography data obtained from maps in site of the IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística); quoted points obtained by topographical survey; and digital altimetry data SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission). Eight MDEHC’s were generated with two cells resolutions, 5 and 10 m. The results was satisfactory for MDEHC’s using the input data from points quoted plus IBGE, for both resolutions, while the MDEHC’s by using IBGE plus SRTM data the results was not satisfactory, for both resolutions.
