Abstract

Urban flood events stand out as one of the most comprehensive natural disasters in the country, with recurrent local effects in medium and large-sized cities. Using of computational models of varied complexity aids to understand the hydrological dynamics of the water bodies under analysis, besides allowing the simulation of interest scenarios. In this perspective, the purpose of this work was to construct a hydrological model of Macaé river basin (RH-VIII) using MOHID Land software, and aiming to simulate scenarios of interest for flood control in the region. Hydrological model construction includes the following steps: (i) definition of the interest area; (ii) creation of a digital terrain model (DTM); (iii) cross sections construction; (iv) design of the drainage network of the river basin; (v) import of precipitation data; (vi) Manning Coefficients adjustment. The model proved to be adequate in the first tests, and still needs to be calibrated and validated for practical application.
