A conceitualização de um reservatório equivalente usando o método do diagrama triangular de regularização: aplicação à bacia do rio Banabuiú

Abstract

The policy of reservoir regularization is one of the measures adopted by water managers to reduce the risk of water collapse and to meet the diverse demands of society. In the semi-arid regions, this problem is even more relevant, due to the intermittence of the rivers (with large periods without rainfall), as well as the great variability associated with them (implying great uncertainties in the flow estimates). An equivalent reservoir model was constructed through the triangular regularization diagram methodology, whose long-term hydrological response is similar to the hydrological response of the system. This equivalent reservoir could then be used as a parameter to analyze the hydrological efficiency of the system, since its hydrological response is similar.
