USE OF MOHID PLATFORM IN THE SIMULATION OF THE WATER TRANSPORT OF CONTAMINANTS IN THE CORN PLANTATION IN VARRE-SAI, RJ

Abstract

Seeking to increase agricultural production and, at the same time, concern for the environment, this work seeks to use the MOHID Land platform coupled with the SWAT model to demonstrate the feasibility of applying such software to study the transport of contaminants in water environments. To this end, a simulation of a corn plantation was developed at the Panorama site, in the municipality of Varre-Sai, Rio de Janeiro. It was concluded that the MOHID Land platform can be used to study the transport of contaminants in water bodies, being a management tool and decision-making aid for engineers and public entities seeking to adopt measures to control pollution in the environment.
