This study presents an analysis of the spatial variation of water level by means of a comparison between the patterns of variability in hydrological extreme events (droughts and floods) and their effects on human occupation. The study area is the Rio Madeira (in the
Brazilian portion), a major tributary of the Amazon River on your right. Its basin covers an area of almost 1.4 million km2, which represents 23% of the entire area of the Amazon basin, involving portions of three South American countries: Bolivia, Brazil and Peru constitute a huge drainage network that only in Brazil occupies 671,841.648 km ². The work is more concentrated in the last 30 years and especially in years under extreme hydro-climatic events.
The authors use data from hydrological stations of the National Water Agency - ANA
(www.ana.gov.br) and the Centre for Environmental Hydrology and Geochemistry of the
Amazon Basin Geodynamics - ORE / HYBAM (www.ore hybam.org-) . The results of hydrological variability on the basis described above, were compared with the damage assessment reports from the National Civil Defence Database (www.defesacivil.gov.br) the last 10 years. With this type of analysis is being conducted to
