High rainfall, with duration from 5 to 1440 minutes was studied and three equations to predict the rainfall intensity were adjusted: one for rainfall with duration below 120 minutes, another for durations between 120 and 480 minutes and the third for durations from 480 to 1440 minutes. It was also defined the relationship between several rainfall durations. Variation was observed between 24-hour rainfall and one-day rainfall, depending on the hour in which the samples were collected.

This study aimed to analyze the pluviograms of Itajaí and Indaial stations located in the basin of the Itajaí river, in order to evaluate the erosivity and adjust the equations to estimate erosivity index from the average rainfall in the region. The methodology used to determine the rainfall erosivity was according to , based on the kinetic energy of the rain and the maximum intensity in 30 minutes. Regression equations were adjusted for linear and potential models with the average values of EI30 and the rainfall coefficient (Rc), adopting the model with the highest coefficient of determination. Based on the series of rainfall data values were determined monthly and yearly average and its distribution throughout the year for each season. For both stations the linear equation was more suitable, and obtained the equationsEI30 =40.56Rc + 68.74 (R² = 0.7090) and Rc =28.701Rc + 13.54 (R² = 0.8152), respectively for Indaial and Itajaí. The average value of Erosivity Index (R) for Indaial is 7025.0 MJ mm ha -1 h -1 year -1, and Itajaí 4756.3 MJ mm ha -1 h -1 yr -1 .

Na caracterização da chuva a ser usada no projeto, devem ser determinadas as relações entre intensidade, duração e frequência (IDF), que podem ser expressas por meio de curvas ou de equações IDF . Nas obras de microdrenagem, utilizam-se chuvas com duração inferior a 24 horas . No entanto, em projetos de macrodrenagem, a duração pode ser de várias horas ou até de alguns dias. Para o planejamento das obras, além do conhecimento das relações IDF, também é importante conhecer as épocas do ano com maior risco de ocorrência de eventos extremos. Nesse sentido, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a série histórica de chuva, determinando as relações IDF e a ocorrência sazonal dos eventos extremos de chuva, da estação pluviométrica de Vargem do Cedro, no município de São Martinho (SC). No estudo, foram usados os dados diários de precipitação do período de 1977 a 2018 da estação pluviométrica de Vargem do Cedro (Código 02848006), pertencente à

To improve the system efficiency and reduce costs, as well as more rational use of water resources should evaluate losses and adopt procedures to reduce them to acceptable levels. This work aimed to evaluate water loss of a water supply system located in the district of São Bento Baixo, City of Nova Veneza, in the extreme south of Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Data flow and flow measured in macro hydrometer during the period from August 2012 to August 2013 in three sectors totaling 555 consumers were analyzed. Average losses during the study period were 32.12 %. The monthly consumption values predominate in the range 0-10 m³ and only 3.97 % of the values were above 25 m³/month. Hydrometers belonging to the system are 15.19% of the volumetric type category and 84.81 % belong to the

In order to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of daily precipitation throughout the Brazilian territory, the Concentration Index (CI) of daily precipitation was used. 1,402 daily rainfall series were used based on regular records from 1991 to 2020. The results of the annual CI allowed the identification of five climatic zones: 0.7% of the Brazilian territory with CI <0.54 located in the state of Mato Grasso do Sul; 29.4% with CI values between 0.54 and 0.56 located in the central-west region, and in small portions of the south, southeast and north regions; 48.1% with CI values between 0.56 and 0.58 distributed in the south, southeast, north and northeast regions of the Brazilian territory; 14.7% with a CI between 0.58 and 0.60 in the northeast region, and in interior portions of the south and southeast regions; 7.1% with CI values between 0.60 and 0.70 characterized by coastal regions from the north of the state of Santa Catarina to the state of Rio Grande do Norte.

This article aimed to analyze the seasonality of rainfall in Brazil. Precipitation data from 1306 rain gauge stations with data from 1990 to 2022. The precipitation seasonality index (PSI) was determined to evaluate the spatial and temporal variation in seasonality. The spatialization of ISP values was carried out using the geostatistical method of ordinary kriging. The ISP values found throughout the Brazilian territory vary from 0.273 to 1.176. This indicates that Brazil has humid regions with precipitation well distributed throughout the months throughout the year, to arid regions, with few months with rain. The lowest seasonal variability was found in the three states in the South region, on the coast of the states in the Southeast region and in the North region near the Amazon forest. The greatest seasonal variability occurs markedly in the Northeast region, close to the semi-arid Northeast, with long periods of drought.

Introdução O clima na Região Sul do Brasil e, em especial, no estado de Santa Catarina, é marcado pela ocorrência de eventos meteorológicos extremos, relacionados principalmente à ocorrência de chuvas. As chuvas intensas são responsáveis por desencadear vários desastres naturais, como inundações e deslizamentos de terra (ESCOBAR et al., 2016). A erosão do solo e os deslizamentos de terra são apontados como uma das principais preocupações ambientais em várias regiões do mundo (LUKIC et al., 2016;

The erosivity factor (EI30) from the USLE model was used to assess erosivity. The erosivity density was obtained from the relationship between erosivity and precipitation. An erosion risk map was obtained by associating the erosivity density with rainfall. The lowest erosivity factor obtained was 71.00 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 year-1 in Chile (El Sobrante) and the highest was 2,2452.00 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 year-1 in Brazil (Belém do Pará). The erosivity density showed values between 0.49 MJ ha-1 h-1 (Chile) and 12.59 MJ ha-1 h-1 (Brazil). High variability was also found for precipitation, with < 144.00 mm year-1 in Chile and > 4,327 mm year-1 (Colombia). In northeastern Brazil and northern Venezuela were identified the areas with the highest erosion risk, associated with low rainfall and high erosivity density. This indicates that precipitation in these regions is characterized by high-intensity, short-duration events (storms).
