Abstract

The landscape information is essential for planning agricultural use and occupation, and integrated management of natural resources. Soon, the objective of this work is to do geometric, topographic and hydrographic descriptions of Ágrua Limpa microbasin, West Amazon, Brazil. To the description was utilized Google Earth and QGIS 2.10.1 softwares, and literature data. The Água Limpa microbasin has 99,32 km2 total area, 71,85 km perimeter, elongated form, altitudes between 204 and 590 m, predominance of smoothy wavy and wavy relief, 81,15% area apt for agricultural mechanization, 81,88% area with low influence to firefight, 228,58 km hydrographic network, 6th order dendritic pattern, average spring density, high drainage density, 434,5 m2 m-1 maintenance coefficient, rambling main channel and 7,04 h concentration time. The microbasin has favorable characteristics to agricultural development, despite that, it’s necessary to adopt soil conservationist management practices, and maintaining forest cover in riparian zone and areas of legal reserves, reconciling economic growth and the conservation of natural resources.
