                         Brazilian biome and home of the largest remaining tropical forest. 
                         The Amazon basin includes the largest world river system, 
                         encompassing ten large sub basins, undergoing various degrees of 
                         anthropic changes. Among major basins, the Tapajoss River, with a 
                         drainage area of 492,481 km2, is being affected by severe land use 
                         and land cover changes because of the high rates of deforestations 
                         at rivers headwaters. The Tapajos basin is of the great importance 
                         from an economic point of view, because governmental development 
                         plans for the basin includes the construction of seven large 
                         hydroelectric projects, and the paving of the BR-163 road, which 
                         connects important regions of soybean production and large 
                         population centers. All those actions have the potential to affect 
                         the whole basin hydrological response. Moreover, the regions 
                         vulnerability on climate change, could impact the hydrological 
                         cycle at different time scales, including sediments load, in 
                         stream biogeochemical cycling, and the frequency of droughts and 
                         floods. In this context, it is necessary to understand how the 
                         change of land use and climate change affect the hydrology of the 
                         catchment. In this study, the large basin hydrological model - 
                         MGB, using ETA atmospheric model as an input for present climate 
                         (1970-1990), was compared to observed discharges.",
