Abstract

The article develops a detailed morphometric analysis of the Água das Araras Stream Hydrographic Basin, located in the regions of the municipalities of Cornélio Procópio and Santa Mariana, in Paraná. The research focuses on the geomorphological characterization and dynamics of the processes that model the relevance and drainage network of the basin. Based on quantitative methods such as areal, linear, hypsometric and river planning analysis, the research aims to clarify the structural factors and environmental constraints that shape the basin. The study seeks not only to identify the natural potential and aspects of environmental vulnerability, but also to suggest management actions that enable more effective and sustainable territorial planning. This work presents an important resource for future disciplines in favor of the preservation of water resources, in addition to strengthening the interdisciplinary understanding of geomorphological processes and their relevance to sustainable development. As well as the application of this knowledge in environmental education, especially in the Teaching of Geography, Science and Mathematics. In addition, morphometric analysis shows a powerful tool for interdisciplinary teaching in Geography, Science and Mathematics, promoting a practical understanding of natural processes and their impacts. The study concludes by emphasizing the relevance of the basin for environmental education and the need for conservation policies to ensure the sustainability of local water resources. The study concludes by highlighting the need for preservation policies and the importance of the watershed as an educational resource to foster environmental awareness.
