Drainage Basin, Potentialities, Northeast of PiauíAbstract
The study aimed at geo-environmental characterization and to identify the geomorphological potential in the middle course of the Poti River Basin, located in the Northeast of the State of Piauí. For this purpose, the SRTM MDE was used, associated to the IBGE Geomorphology Technical Manual and field work, which allowed the identification of three geomorphological units: Surface Displaced in Hills, highlighting the detrital pavements originated from weathering mechanic; Structural levels of the Poti River Basin, where the Parque Municipal Pedra do Castelo stands out; Valley of the Hydrographic Basin of the Poti river, where the Canion is evident in the middle course with the presence of kettles of dissolution. Therefore, the area presents distinct geomorphological diversity, whose use is possible provided adequate strategies are observed for conservation of this patrimony.
