The aim was the grouping of basins of second degree of similarity, as well as to infer spatial distribution representativeness. The hydrological basins were located in 3 physiographic regions, with peripheric depression, cuesta front and cuesta backslope, embracing the following soil units: Regosol intergrade to Red Yellow Podzolic and intergrade to Red Yellow Latosol, Red Yellow Latosol-sandy phase, Litosol basaltic substract phase and Purple Latosol. The results obtained allow the conclusion that soil use not always reflects its fertility. -after English summary11-19poraerial photographyphotointerpretationsoil descriptionsoil mappingsoil useBrazil, Sao Paulo State, Botucatu, Tiete BasinArtigoAcesso restrito2-s2.0-0024895508
