Paraiba do Sul basin database

This resource describes a dataset created for the purpose of simulating the Paraiba do Sul basin with hydrological distributed models. The dataset contains gridded numerical and descriptive information related to different characteristics of the basin. Distributed hydrological models are useful tools for the management of water resources, as they allow estimating the hydrological regime in a basin according to its physical, rainfall and land use change characteristics, seeking to accurately quantify the availability of water allowing planning future use according to scenarios of land use change or climate change.
