Site Description
The watershed is located in the center of São Paulo State, Southeast of Brazil. The coordinates are: Lat. 22º 10' 08,5" S; Long. 47º 57' 11,7" W. The drainage density is 0.75km/km2. The maximum altitude is 800m. Basin declivity is 0.00575m/m. The local climate is characterised by alternating dry and wet periods, the wetter period falling in summer and autumn, and the winter and spring seasons being mainly dry. Annual precipitation is around 1500 mm per year. Temperatures are typically between 15 °C and 17 °C during the coldest winter month (July); in the warmest summer month (January), water temperatures between 21 °C to 23 °C are recorded. Potential evapotranspiration is between 500 mm to 1000 mm per year. According to the Koppen ...

Vegetation
The natural vegetation is characteristically a Savannah type the Cerrado, typical of continental regions of Brazil, consisting of bushes and trees adapted to a long (six months) dry season with periodic fires.
Soils
Hydromorphic and organic soils in lowland areas. Arenitic soils predominate. Red soils as part of soil structures.
Hydrology
