- Abstract
In the last ten years, there have been six major floods on the Rio Negro that have exceeded the (arbitrary) quota for severe flooding established for the city of Manaus, which is twenty-nine meters, which indicates that the phenomenon has become more frequent, with short-term recurrences. On the other hand, knowing that waterproofing generated by urbanization alters the conditions of natural drainage in the land, progressively increasing the flows and damage caused by floods, it is worth mentioning the differentiated use of management alternatives for preventive measures and not just corrective and emergency in the region. In this context, the present work aims to develop a flood mapping tool for the resulting return times, enabling the analysis of the direct influence of the Rio Negro floods from the products generated, in a delimited region in the center of Manaus that suffers recurrently from extreme events, thus helping the public management of water resources in the city of Manaus.
