             abstract = ": Inadequate land use planning is one of the main driving forces 
                         leading to the occurrence of erosion and environmental 
                         degradation. The negative impacts of poor planning influence soil 
                         physical quality and fertility, agricultural productivity, water 
                         quality and availability, biodiversity and other ecosystem 
                         services. In some areas, actual land use is not consistent with 
                         potential use. When this occurs, the area is termed as being in 
                         environmental land use conflict. Many studies have demonstrated 
                         the efficiency of the ruggedness number (RN) method for 
                         determining land use potential in watersheds. The RN method is 
                         simple and can be carried out using geographic information systems 
                         (GIS). However, the absence of potential land use or agricultural 
                         land suitability assessments is recurrent in territorial 
                         management plans or integrated water resources plans (IWRP), 
                         especially for macroscale river basins. Therefore, the aim of this 
                         preliminary study is to identify possible environmental land use 
                         conflicts at the Rio Grande Basin (BHRG), Brazil, using the 
                         Ruggedness Number. The results indicate high agricultural use 
                         potential and the predominance of appropriate or acceptable soil 
                         use at the BHRG. However, class 1, 2 and 3 environmental conflicts 
                         were identified in some Rio Grande sub-basins, suggesting greater 
                         environmental degradation risks. The findings clearly indicate 
                         that more exhaustive studies on environmental quality (soil 
                         capability, water, biodiversity) are required at the BHRG, 
                         especially in environmental land use conflict areas. We emphasize 
                         that this is an important preliminary study which may be carried 
                         out in any other macroscale hydrographic basin.",
