Abstract

The objective of this work is to estimate the magnitudes of bankfull discharge (Qbf) and the respective recurrence interval (RI) in fluviometric stations located in the West and Southwest regions of Paraná state, southern Brazil. The study area is located in a homogeneous region with common physiographic characteristics (geological, geomorphological and climatic). The bankfull stage was defined in the field by topographic survey based on the average height of natural levees in shallow incised channels and aluvial break in deep incised channels. The corresponding Qbf was calculated using rating curve equation. RI was estimated by the Log-Pearson III distribution. The catchment area in 16 fluviometric stations analyzed ranged from 336 to 17,400 km2 and the estimated Qbf ranged from 77.7 to 2,580 m3/s respectively. The values of RI of bankfull ranged from 1.05 to 1.80 years with an average value of 1.34 years.
