The water body chosen is the Patos Lagoon located in southern Brazil considered the largest choked coastal lagoon in the world with over 300 km in length and an average width of 40 km. The figure shows the results of Water Age simulation for dry and wet seasons. The results show clearly the influence of river inflows in the northern part, and the influence of tides in the southern part. Source: AGUILERA, L. et al.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The search for better living conditions has led the residents of the Brazilian semi-arid region to plant forage crops, leading to a gradual decrease in the native vegetation (Caatinga) of this region. The effects caused by the replacement of Caatinga with palm, for example, have been little studied, especially with regard to the physical and hydraulic properties of the soil. The objective of this study was to compare the physical-hydraulic characteristics of a litholic neosol in two areas having different vegetation cover: one area cultivated with forage palm (O. ficus-indica) and the
