                         understanding hydrological behavior or support tool for the 
                         assessment of natural resources and environmental risks in a river 
                         basin. The Rio Grande Basin has great socioeconomic and 
                         environmental relevance for Brazil; however, its morphometric 
                         characterization is not widely known. Therefore, we present the 
                         morphometric characteristics of the Rio Grande Basin (BHRG), from 
                         the geometric, relief, and drainage variables. Data processing was 
                         carried out using the Geographic Information System (GIS), from 
                         the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The results indicate that the 
                         BHRG is of the ffth order, presenting a dendritic drainage 
                         pattern, low susceptibility to fooding under normal precipitation 
                         conditions, sinuous watercourses, and an undulating relief. In 
                         addition, the BHRG is permeable, poorly drained, and displays low 
                         capacity to generate and maintain drainage tracts. The fndings can 
                         contribute to a better understanding of hydrological behavior on a 
                         river basin and support integrated water resource plans.",
