Estimativa dos potenciais hidráulicos fixo e móvel: o caso da Bacia do Rio Acaraú - Ceará

Abstract

Water Resources plans in Ceará State have been, over the years, calculating water availability of its basins using only the volume stored in large reservoirs and the average flow of the wells. In Semi-Arid Northeast Brazil, where water stress is a reality, is important to know the real potentialities of the water system so one can intervene effectively. This paper aims to demonstrate the methodology to estimate the hydraulic potential of a basin, which it can be divided into Potential Mobile and Fixed. The last one is not usually computed in the water availability of a basin. It was calculated the hydraulic potential for Acaraú River Basin, and the values were compared with those obtained by the General Base Study of Jaguaribe Valley - GVJ for Jaguaribe, Tunisia and Paris.
