Two Rivers

            At Guajará-Mirim - Rondônia - Brazil - The dark waters are from Paacas Novos River and the muddy waters are from Marmoré River. The meeting of the waters of the Mamoré and Pacaás Novos rivers, in the rural area of Guajará-Mirim (RO), is a very interesting phenomenon. It occurs on the border of Brazil and Bolivia, when the dark water of the Pacaás and the mud of the Mamoré form a dividing line that runs for several kilometers, without mixing.

There are several characteristics that cause the difference in the color of the waters, but mainly because Mamoré River receives several tributaries from the eastern portion of the Andes which carry many sediments and are responsible for the muddy colouring of the water. Pacaás Novo River, on the other hand, just like Rio Negro, from Amazonas, is loaded with organic acids that are derived from the decomposition of organic matter released in the vegetation of its margin area, which gives the dark colour to the waters.

Enjoy your Thursday!
