Uso de modelo digital de elevação gerados a partir do ASTER GDEM e SRTM para caracterização de rede de drenagem

Abstract

This paper assesses the suitability of using digital elevation models, resulting from manipulation of altimetric mission SRTM and ASTER instrument, to update maps of the drainage network in the municipality of Renaissance PR. To characterize the drainage network from SRTM and ASTER data used the software SPRING 5.1.7. The hydrographic network, obtained by these two methods was crossed with a mesh extracted from hydrographic maps of the army and orthorectified images of the SPOT 5 satellite. The results show that the drainage system, derived from SRTM and ASTER data is not satisfactory because they do not determine the vast majority of streams of first and second orders. Already the third, fourth and fifth orders, which are identified in the vast majority are located outside the actual course of the letters found by the army and orthorectified images. The data show that the riparian vegetation are acquired by SRTM and ASTER and interfere with the variations in altitude and therefore the bad design of drainage networks.
