The Paraguay River is the main tributary of the Paraná River and has an extension of 1.693 km in Brazilian territory. The navigability conditions are very important for the regional economy because most of the central-west Brazilian agricultural and mineral production is transported by the Paraguay waterway. Increased sedimentation along the channel requires continuous dredging to waterway maintenance. Systematic bathymetric surveys are periodically carried out in order to check depth condition along the channel using echo-sounding devices. In this paper, digital image processing and geostatistical analysis methods were used to analyze the applicability of the ASTER sensor to estimate channel depths in a segment of the upper Paraguay River. The results were compared with field data in order to choose the band with better adjustment and to evaluate the standard deviation. Comparing the VNIR bands, the best fit was presented by the red wavelength (band 2; 0,63 - 0,69 μm), showing a good representation of the channel depths shallow than 1,7 m. Applying geostatistical methods, the model accuracy was enhanced from 43 cm to 36 cm and undesired components were slacked. It was concluded that the digital number of band 2, converted to bathymetry information allows a good estimation of river depths and channel morphology.

The Ji-Paraná city (RO) it doesn't possess public system of collection and treatment of sewers, being the waters residuárias produced by the local population thrown at sewages. Traditionally, many inhabitants use wells amazon extracted underground water or tubular shallow in the urban zone. The study accomplished in the Nova Brasília neighborhood for Silva (2009) revealed that the local aquifer is strongly contaminated for nitrate, originated of the decomposition of the organic matter deposited at the sewages local maidservants. With the objective of detecting areas with high concentrations originating from organic compositions of septic sewages, geophysical risings were accomplished, later related with analyses physical-chemistries in samples of groundwaters obtained in several wells installed in the Nova Brasília neighborhood, besides of soil samples descriptions in zone not saturated obtained in wells. The results obtained by the geophysical rehearsals they reveal that the polluting feather not migrates through the zone saturated, arriving with relative easiness to the aquifer, reaching in some points, superior depth to 34 m reached by the geoelectrical profiling.

Several factors have contributed to the increase the world production of urban solid waste, resulting in difficulties to the correct management and the final environmentally appropriate disposal, in addition to causing serious socio-economic, environmental, and public health troubles. The soil and groundwater contamination by leachate in waste disposal sites is almost always present, leveraging the emergence and/or adaptation of methodologies for environmental assessment of these areas. The geophysical methods, especially the electrical resistivity method, are fast, reliable and low-cost alternative for this purpose. This paper reports the methodology adopted for the temporal monitoring of the plume of contamination of controlled landfill in the municipality of Rio Claro (SP). Electrical resistivity data were obtained in 1999 and 2008, by the resistivity method, using the techniques of vertical electrical sounding and electrical profile. In both years, similar tests were carried out in the same locations within the disposal area. The results indicated that the plume of contamination has resistivity values less than or equal to 50 ohm.m and moves guided by 2 flows: the main, to the southeast, and the secondary, to the west. Relatively to the first series of tests in 1999, the plume of contamination was higher and deeper in 2008, contrary to what was expected for a landfill deactivated for at least 10 years.

O município de Porto Velho (RO) gera em torno de 220 toneladas de lixo urbano por dia, os quais são dispostos em área de “lixeira” desde 1993. Este trabalho apresenta os resultados da aplicação do método geofísico da eletrorresistividade, através das técnicas da sondagem elétrica vertical e imageamento elétrico (arranjos Schlumberger e dipolo-dipolo) que foram executadas na área da lixeira da cidade de Porto Velho (RO), com o objetivo de identificar a contaminação do solo e das águas subterrâneas. A geologia sobre a qual está assentado o aterro de Porto Velho é constituída por sedimentos do pleistoceno (argilo-arenosos com concreções lateríticas) assentados sobre rochas graníticas – fraturadas - da Formação Santo Antônio. Palavras-chave: Eletrorresistividade, imageamento elétrico, sondagem elétrica vertical, resíduos sólidos urbanos.
