- Abstract
The present work presents the determination of the peak flow in a region strongly subject to flooding. This is Severino Meireles street, part of the Independência Stream Hydrographic Basin, in the municipality of Juiz de Fora, Brazil. After a review of the literature on local floods, it is a question of estimating the hydrological flow of floods. The basins contributing to the study site had their characteristic magnitudes (areas, topographic elevations, lengths of watercourses, etc.) obtained from the use of the QGIS software. The hydraulic drainage capacity of the street gallery in question is also calculated, verifying the condition conducive to the occurrence of floods. Finally, suggestions for mitigating the problem are listed.
