Groundwater and Watershed Analysis

The article develops a detailed morphometric analysis of the Água das Araras Stream Watershed, located in the regions of Cornélio Procópio and Santa Mariana, Paraná. The investigation focuses on the geomorphological characterization and the dynamics of processes shaping the basin's relief and drainage network. Using quantitative methods such as areal, linear, hypsometric, and fluvial planning analysis, the research aims to clarify the structural factors and environmental conditions shaping the basin.The study seeks not only to identify the natural potential and aspects of environmental vulnerability but also to suggest management actions that enable more effective and sustainable territorial planning. This work presents an important resource for future disciplines in favor of water resource preservation, besides strengthening interdisciplinary understanding of geomorphological processes and their relevance for sustainable development. Additionally, it highlights the application of these concepts in environmental education, especially in the teaching of Geography, Science, and Mathematics. Moreover, morphometric analysis proves to be a powerful tool for interdisciplinary teaching in Geography, Sciences, and Mathematics, promoting a practical understanding of natural processes and their impacts. The study concludes by emphasizing the relevance of the basin for environmental education and the necessity of conservation policies to ensure the sustainability of local water resources. The study also highlights the need for preservation policies and the importance of the watershed as an educational resource to foster environmental awareness.
