- Abstract
In northwest region of state Rio de Janeiro, dry season characteristic of region is enhanced by low-rate vegetation, large runoff and land use and occupation without sustainable management. Due to these aspects, this work proposes an evaluation of potential groundwater catchment areas in rural zones municipalities of Rio de Janeiro, Miracema, São José de Ubá and Itaperuna, with high water demand due to agricultural and livestock activities. The methodology consists of geophysical campaigns and environmental characterization study area, based on information associated with climate, morphology, vegetation, geology, soils, hydrography, hydrogeology, land use and occupation. The Electric, Electromagnetic and Magnetometric geophysical methods were applied to obtain and integrate data from subsoil, based on application of proposed methods. Results indicate the aquifer recharge areas and a great potential for capturing groundwater in spaces from fractures and contacts between rocks, in proportion to conditions favorable to water infiltration into the land, through vegetation and soil characteristics, territory use and occupation. It can be concluded that methods and procedures are also appropriate to assess the potential for exploitation groundwater in places with similar geological, hydrogeological, and topographic characteristics.
