Remote Sensing, Watershed, Rio São Lamberto e Claros dos Poções.Abstract
The technological advancement, with the availability of satellite images has resulted in better precision in data collection relating to the land surface. The
remote sensing and GIS are useful tools to aid in the study of geographical space, once they provide more accurate data and associates them in different ways to generate information that portrays the way, most accurate, the organization of space studied. This advantage has made these geo stood out in the study watersheds. Thus, this study applies remote sensing and GIS to analyze changes in land use from the basin of São Lamberto in the city of Claro dos Poções, in the north of Minas Gerais, between 1999 and 2009. The images used in this study are derived from the satellite Landsat 5, bands 3, 4 and 5. The images associated with field work, allowed to extract data on land use in this basin. The results reported that the natural vegetation has reduced
drastically due to the expansion of the primary economic activities, which stand out as the economic base of the surveyed cities.
