Desenvolvimento de software para obtenção das curvas-chave de descarga líquida e de sedimentos

Abstract

The efficient handling of hydrometric data is crucial for the sustainable management of water resources. In this context, the objective of this study was to develop software to obtain key liquid and sediment discharge curves. Using data from the HidroWeb Portal and focusing on a specific fluviometric station (Porto Londrina), the research incorporates data manipulation in an electronic spreadsheet as an integral part of the methodology. Extrapolation methods are applied to obtain key curves, with the software being developed in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 environment seeking to offer an effective and agile alternative for the massive manipulation of hydrometric data. The validation of the results compares the extrapolations of the key curves obtained by the electronic spreadsheet and the software, considering the coefficient of determination (R-square) and the time required for data manipulation. The results highlight the consistency between the software and the spreadsheet, highlighting the efficiency of the tool as a valuable contribution to data analysis in hydrology and sedimentology. Thus, this study highlights the potential of the software as a practical tool to optimize the acquisition of key curves, promoting advances in the management of water resources and the understanding of hydrological processes.
