R E S U M OObjetivou-se, neste trabalho, realizar a caracterização física das Bacias Hidrográficas do Igarapé Canela Fina e Igarapé Preto, ambas localizadas no município de Cruzeiro do Sul, AC. Para a classificação não supervisionada empregou-se o ISODATA através dos produtos do sensor TM, a bordo do satélite Landsat-5 fornecidos pelo Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais. O período avaliado se estende entre os anos de 2005 a 2010. Os resultados mostram um aumento médio de 48,11% em áreas desflorestadas para essas bacias e redução média em áreas florestadas de 50,58%, em consequência de intervenções antrópicas ocorridas ao longo dos últimos anos. As características físicas calculadas demonstraram similaridade entre as bacias hidrográficas, ambas respondem lentamente a eventos hidrológicos e, portanto, não propícias a enchentes. As modificações realizadas ao longo dos últimos anos na superfície das bacias hidrográficas alteraram possivelmente a dinâmica hídrica dos igarapés e os resultados obtidos indicam a eficiência do Sensoriamento Remoto e Sistema de Informação Geográfica na análise da dinâmica espaço-tempo da vegetação e caracterização morfométrica das bacias hidrográficas.Physical characterization of two hydrographical basins in Alto Juruá, Acre A B S T R A C TThe aim of this study was to report physical characterization of the hydrographical basins of Igarapé Canela Fina and Igarapé Preto, both located in the municipality of Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre, Brazil. The ISODATA algorithm was used for the non-supervised classification, drawing on data provided by the TM Landsat 5 sensor from the National Institute for Space Research. The covered period of analysis was from 2005 to 2010. The analysis shows an average increase of 48.11% of deforested areas and a mean reduction of 50.58% in the forested areas for both basins, due to anthropic interventions over those five years. The analysis of physical characteristics shows similarities between the hydrographical basins, with both responding slowly to hydrological events, and thus providing conditions not favourable to flooding. Modifications conducted on the surface of the hydrographical basins along the last few years have, however, possibly altered the hydro dynamics of the rivers and streams. The preliminary results indicate that the Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems are efficient tools for the analysis of the space-time dynamics of vegetation and the morphometric characterization of hydrographical basins.Caracterização física em duas bacias hidrográficas do Alto Juruá, Acre
