Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/7929This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of elevation data obtained by topography (trigonometric leveling), physical geodesy (screening GNSS) and mathematical modeling (MAPGEO2010), with reference to those obtained orthometric heights and transported for the first technique (topography), between two Level references (RN's) of High Precision Altimetric Network (RAAP), aiming to contribute in hydrological studies requiring altimetry data in deciding which methods or techniques can be used in each study, seeking the simplification, economic efficiency and the speed in the works. Research shows that, considering the relevant characteristics of the survey region and variations presented between the different techniques used, the application of each technique is variable, and in the calculations of the hydraulic gradient waterways and production sediment in a small watershed through the methodology RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) all methods are recommended and the calculation of flood areas due to the waterway bus, proved unviable geodesy techniques and mathematical modeling. . This conclusion stems from the variability in the results of each study hydrological used is: 0.003% to 0.385% for gradients of 5.85% to 6.49% for the production of sediment and 29.71% to 79.23% for flood areas.Acesso AbertoAltitude ortométricaGeoideAlturas geométricasNivelamento trigonométricoNivelamento por GNSSOrthometric heightGeometric heightsTrigonometric levelingLeveling by GNSSDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::GEOCIENCIAS::GEODESIA
