In the context of planning and management of water resources in river basins, there is growing demand for consistent information concerning the state of the environment and environmental pressures in an integrated manner, that can inform the population and support the activities of the public and private sectors. This demand can be satisfied with the modeling and integration in Geographic Information Systems, with properties and processing functions that allow their use in integrated environment. Thus, this dissertation presents a methodology for muticriterial assessing of water resources in river basins, from the selection of indicators and definition of the weights, to running assessments and spatial representation of the results. This methodology consists of two phases: assessing the vulnerability of water resources of a watershed from the use of spatial decision support systems, and assessment of water quality by adapting a Water Quality Index. Knowledge base, decision support systems, GIS and a computing tool were adopted to integrates these results and allow the generation of scenarios of the vulnerability of water resources. In parallel, the water quality of sub-basins is obtained by from an adaptation of calculation of the water quality index proposed by the Company of Environmental Sanitation Technology (CETESB) and applying the Toxicity Index. The results showed sub-basins, with its water resources more or less vulnerable, as well as sub-basins with toxicity above the permitted. Integrated assessment of vulnerable areas and have lower quality and / or greater toxicity may guide the decision making activities and projects aimed at conserving water resources in river basins.
