Definition of hydrogeological tectonic blocks into Guarani/Serra Geral Integrated Aquifer System using QGIS.

Abstract

The application refers to the Guarani/Serra Geral Integrated Aquifer System (SAIG/SG) in Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Based on Digital Elevation Model SRTM and derivatives, large features reflecting hydrogeological tectonic blocks1 were defined. The interpretation of diagnostic profiles different scales result hydrogeological tectonic blocks. With hydrogeological database, calculate the hydrogeological tectonic blocks mean surface. Using QGIS Free Geographic Information System in this study was highly feasible.
