RESUMO

In the past, the occurrence of the territorial occupation in Brazil was extremely disordered and the inadequate use of the natural resources caused serious negative impacts on the water resources, such as the deterioration of the water and the consequent reduction in the water availability. Nowadays, there are few tools that allow the users and management agencies to accomplish an appropriate planning for water. In this scenery, this study was carried out to simulate and analyze both demand and supply of the water in agriculture in the hydrographic basin of the Jundiá creek, by using the software Perímetro. During the accomplishment of this study, the users of the surface wasters in the Jundiá creek basin and their main characteristics were registered in cadastre. In estimating the peak discharge in irrigation, the following factors were considered: the irrigated area, the total irrigation required, the system operation time and the irrigation period. The reference evapotranspiration was determined, by using the equation by Hargreaves-Samani. The peak discharge in irrigation, the possible maximum operational time and the effective operational time were taking into account in order to obtain the average captured discharge. According to the results, the following conclusions were drawn: the users of the water in the Jundiá creek basin belong to both agricultural and sanitation sectors; the Jundiá creek basin has an irrigated area around 1,108ha, as being 39.8% irrigated by conventional sprinkler, 8.4% by microsprinkling, 8.5% by trickle irrigation, 42.4% by central pivot and 0.9% by using hose; 51.7% users capture peak discharge above 25% Q90; 39.5% users demand an average discharge above 25% Q90; the maximum demand along the watercourse corresponds to 195.5% Q90 at the firth of the basin, and the highest average discharge represented 73%. The following were observed: the need for regularizing the flow rate of the watercourse, by constructing reservoirs, the use of the irrigation programming system to minimize the peak discharge; and even to substitute the less efficient irrigation systems by other more efficient ones. The Perímetro software showed to be efficient in either simulating the irrigation management and the demanded discharges available along the hydrographic basin.
