| Sumario: | The threat of flooding in the Guarenas river takes significance for recurrence, and the existence of vulnerable rapid urban growth and expansion sites, represented by the cities of Guarenas, Guatire and Araira, Miranda state (INE, 2001 ). This occurrence threatens the people who sits there, its activities and assets. The objective was to identify and characterize the areas susceptible to the occurrence of floods in the river. We evaluated environmental data consisting of monthly rainfall, geomorphology, and slopes. The results suggest that due to the physical characteristics of the sub-basins of the rivers and streams, and due to the action of rain, on a relief and gentle slopes with predominantly clay soils,they represent elements that impact on flooding. There are actions that add man: intervention in the upper, non-channeling in some areas of these watercourses, the presence of debris and solid waste in rivers, which constitute obstacles to the flow of water. |
