The distribution of rainfall in a watershed bay during the year is one of the determining factors to quantify the need for irrigation of crops and domestic and industrial water supply, beyond studies to control flooding and soil erosion. The rain potency to cause erosion can be assessed by indices that are based on physical rainfall characteristics in each region, which erosion is an index. In this study it was analyzed the yearly and monthly indices of rainfall and erosion spacialization in Dourados Watershed Bay. According with the results it was possible to conclude: the rainfall presented a unimodal oscillation, the rainy season ranged from October to March, every month of the rainy season showed a dramatic reductions in the average rainfall, the yearly erosion ranged from 3.192,0 to 4.977,0 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 year-1, and the highest risks of soil loss by water erosion was in the months of December and January.
