This work has the objective of analyzing and characterizing geographically the Alto Jacuí Hydrographic Basin. Thus, the specific objectives are: to map the Upper Jacui River Basin, identifying the municipalities that are part of it; elaborate thematic maps of hydrography, hypsometry, declivity, biomes and land use; carry out fieldwork in order to analyze and interpret the landscape, collect data, materials and information related to the study area; and highlight which are the predominant economic sectors in the municipalities that integrate the Hydrographic Basin in question. Therefore, bibliographical research, thematic mapping and field work were carried out. Among the results it is worth noting that the study area has an altimetric amplitude of 700 meters and the most steep areas are in the south region in the transition areas of the plateau border where the few forest areas are concentrated. The agricultural sector is the most relevant sector of the municipalities of the Alto Jacuí Hydrographic Basin (57.14%). Currently, the study area has 10 hydroelectric projects and has land use as predominant areas (46.23%). Through this study, it is expected to contribute to the integrated planning of the Alto Jacuí Hydrographic Basin and to support future discussions for better management and management of water resources.
