Those are collegiate organs to discuss the fate of water between representatives of public power, users and civil organizations in which they approve the Basin’s Water Resources Plan, monitor its implementation and suggests necessary measures to achieve goals. There are 201 WC already implanted in Brazil. Until June 2017 the State of Pará did not have a single basin committee in place. This study aimed to contribute to the establishment of the basin committee for Marapanim river hydrographic basin (MRHB), through analysis of basin morphometry. Using data from the SRTM database, data was extracted to support the morphometric analysis, allowing the generation of thematic maps through a geographic information system (GIS). Through orbital data and GIS tools was generated the mapping of use and land cover. The results of the morphometric analysis revealed that the basin extends through 12 municipalities in Pará State northeast and determines with accuracy a list of physical characteristics. It is hoped that contributions from this study will subsidize actions and decisions of the future basin committee.PPGCA - Estudos de ecossistemas amazônicos
