             abstract = "The proper water resources management follows the detailed 
                         comprehension of the physical process involved in the water cycle. 
                         Recently a large number of remote sensing techniques for 
                         observation of hydrological variables has been developed. That 
                         enables large and sparse areas monitoring (for example, the Amazon 
                         basin), with a superior temporal-spatial cover to the in situ 
                         observations. Altimetry is the study of altitude measurements, or 
                         the altitude representation in maps or topographical plans. The 
                         American satellite ICESat (ICE, Cloud and Elevation Satellite), 
                         developed by NASA, was used in this research to perform water 
                         level measurements in Brazilian rivers and lakes. The goal of this 
                         paper is to evaluate the ICESat utility in hydrologic 
                         applications. To reach it, a software was developed to process the 
                         ICESat altimetry data, through a routine in Matlab programming 
                         language. The resulting code and interface proved to be effective 
                         tools to process ICESat data. To validate the satellite data, a 
                         comparison was made between water levels obtained by remote 
                         sensing and the Ag{\^e}ncia Nacional de {\'A}guas (ANA) gauged 
                         stations in the Bananal Island region. It was noticed that the 
                         ICESat water level variation approached the ANA gauged stations 
                         data, with mean squared error smaller than 30 cm. Another

                         plains monitoring; calibration of hydrodynamic models; leveling
