Abstract

This article proposes to perform a geomorphological compartmentalization from a geoenvironmental analysis of the watershed sub-basin of the Groaíras River, located in the northwest portion of the state of Ceará, precisely in the municipalities of Santa Quitéria, Groaíras, Forquilha and Catunda. The methodological support is based on geosystemic analysis, substantiated on Bertrand (1972) and Souza's proposal of geoenvironmental analysis (2000). Three geomorphological units were identified: a) Sertaneja Depression, b) River Plain and c) Inselbergs. Geoenvironmental analysis provides to identify aspects that may contribute for new studies related to its potential use and occupation, its limitations and its vulnerability resulting from the anthropic process.
