This paper makes a geomorphometric analysis of the high wathershed of Ribeirão Santa Marta (BHRSM), with the objective of evaluating the water behavior of this hydrographic unit, which is quoted as a future source of water supply for the city of Iporá (GO). The study was carried out using mathematical modeling, remote sensing products and geoprocessing techniques. The data used in the study were obtained from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the Brazilian Geomorphometric Database (TOPODATA). Among the various geomorphometric indices described in the literature, those that best portray the infiltration and surface runoff of rainwater were selected. The organization of the data, the geoprocessing techniques and the elaboration of the cartographic products of the hydrographic basin were carried out using the Geographic Information System (GIS) QGIS. The results of the indices, analyzed together, indicated that the BHRSM is more favorable to surface runoff. This shows that the basin has a more active hydrological behavior, that is, the water flows more easily, being unfavorable for recharge and water storage. Thus, the data indicate that the BHRSM may have a compromised permanence flow to meet the public supply of Iporá (GO) in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
