Rede Hidrometeorológica do Estado do Acre: desafios para manutenção do sistema de telemetria

Favoritar este trabalho

Extreme rainfall and drought in the Amazon have produced increasingly severe floods and reduced access to water. The combination of increasingly variable climate and land use change in the Acre State has contributed to creating natural disasters, bringing social disruption due to rivers overflowing and collapsing supply systems. In order to facilitate the monitoring of climate extremes in the state, the Acre State Government invested, through partnership with the National Water Agency (ANA), in the expansion and modernization of the hydrometeorological network that is now part of the national network, allowing the collection of precipitation and river level data for the prediction of critical hydrological events and for early warnings. The data generated are transformed into information through bulletins and technical reports that guide monitoring, actions of prevention and control of natural disasters. This network is made up of 32 Data Collection Platforms - PCDs that cover the entire statelinked via the GOES satellite operated by NOAA. In order to maintain the system in full operation, the State strives to prioritize generating this information in despite the difficulty of access to remote sites, the need for constant training of the technical staff and the logistics necessary to maintain the network, particularly in the trinational Acre River Basin.
