Method AHP to Flood Risk Map Approach

Abstract

The phenomenon of flooding is a natural event, given by the extravasation of water to the river bed. The main objective of this study was the analysis of susceptibility to flooding of the basin of Uraim River in the municipality of Paragominas Pará state based on the physical characteristics and morphometric basin. It used the Analysis method Hierarchical method for generating gas order susceptibility map of the basin. The AHP technique used to determine map algebra contributed to the analysis of the susceptibility to floods and was effective because it reduces and simplifies the proposed problem, which minimizes the errors of judgment during the process.
