The development of mankind has always been connected to water resources. Currently, they have been more intensely exploited, especially in electrical power generation, through the opening of countless hydropower plants in Brazil from which many are found in the biome called Cerrado, due to its great water resources. From the need of studies on artificial reservoir once its made, the study on Salto do Rio Verdinho ́s river basin and waterpower plant ́s reservoir, located in the lower part of Verde river ́s river basin, close to Paranaíba river ́s downstream, tributary of Paraná river, was chosen. Verde river ́s flow is the verge of Caçu and Itarumã counties, in the south of Goiás state. Therefore, the main goal of this work is to comprehend the dynamics of usage and occupation of the river basin ́s lands and Salto do Rio Verdinho ́s waterpower plant relating to its water quality. With that in mind, the landscape was rated according to its physical features and the relation among its geology, soils, slope, geomorphology and remaining natural vegetation, based on the observation of the structural principle of the landscape, revealing that the environment of the river basin region belongs to Mesozoic era ́s geological formations, such as flattened relief and predominance of slope with very soft dissection between interfluves. Data on the changes in usage and occupation of the lands was possible through satellites images, where it was found that between 2005 and 2015, the main usage was pasture with 546 km2, the second, was areas intended to temporary cultures, with 237,4 km2. The analyses regarding the quality of the water from the reservoir, were made according to the resolution no 357 from 2005 of CONAMA, it was ranked as of very low quality due to its high percentage of nitrite and phosphorus. It was ranked as class 4. The variables: TDS and CE, Temp and TDS, Temp and CE, present significant correlations. The components optically active in the water (chlorophyll, concentration of suspended sediment, transparency and murkiness) that interfere in the electromagnetic spectra, present correlations with the measures of reflectance in the wavelength of 716 nm and 720 nm in January 2015, while the variables correlated better with the wavelength of 647 nm, 697 nm e 704 nm in February 2016, pointing that these wavelengths belong to the color red. The reflectance during the rainy months, January 2015 and February 2016, registered values between 0,04 and 0,23%, while in the dry season, July 2015 and August 2016, 0,03 and 0,14%. Generally speaking, that the research led to comprehend the current dynamics of the river basin environment and of the hydropower plant Salto do Rio Verdinho ́s reservoir, on their natural and man induced components that affect the water quality, thus, fulfilling the intended general aim.
