Avrinningsområdet Mundaú har sitt ursprung i den Brasilianska delstaten Pernambuco och rinner i sydöstlig riktning mot Mundaúlagunen längs Atlantkusten tillhörande delstaten Alagoas. Området faller under nationell jurisdiktion, är relativt oreglerat och erfar både översvämningar och torrperioder. Modellering av avrinningsområdets hydrologi kan ge en fördjupad förståelse av dessa händelser och hur The relatively unregulated, union domain Mundaú river basin, upper reaches originating in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco and flowing southeast to the Mundaú Lagoon along the Alagoas state’s Atlantic coast, suffers from both flooding and drought.

At present there is no health economic model that can fully explain the behaviour of the salaried physician in public health care systems. My purpose is to create a working economic model of the salaried physician in a public health care system.
