Desenvolvimento de aplicativo para dispositivo móvel para realização de balanço hídrico

Abstract

Water balance is a calculation tool, used to measure the water regime of a specific region, from which it can perform the planning of water resources of a specific location. The calculation process to perform the water balance is relatively simple, but to perform it is necessary to repeat several mathematical operations, and have to know all the conditions to perform the calculation procedure, making this activity tiresome and in some cases even when computing resources are not used. In the last decade there has been a considerable increase in the use of smartphones due to the amenities it provides such as internet access and applications that make its life easier. Given the above, the objective of the present work was to develop a mobile application to perform the climatological water balance calculations. The app was developed on the App Inventor 2 platform, and titled BH MAIS. The BH MAIS application has four user interaction screens, which are the opening splash screen, the “Cálcular” screen, another for the “Tutorial” and the “Sobre” screen, which contains the credits for developing the application. BH MAIS screens are simple and very intuitive, making it easy to use. In general, it is concluded that the application works satisfactorily, presenting the results of the easy-to-interpret climatological water balance in the form of a table and bar graph.
