Abstract
The chapter evaluates the importance of integrated hydrosedimentological modeling in improving port resilience and environmental decision-making under the context of climate change, using the Paraíba do Sul River, Brazil, as a case study. It highlights the use of advanced predictive modeling, such as SWAT and SisBaHiA, in addressing the challenges posed by extreme climatic events on port operations and water resource management. The research emphasizes the need for tools to anticipate and adapt to adverse impacts, integrating remote sensing technologies and GIS for precise environmental monitoring. The goal is to promote informed decision-making for the sustainable management of water resources, mitigating erosion and sedimentation and adapting port operations to climate change.
