Arraias River (Mato Grosso)

The Arraias River is a river located in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. It is a tributary of the Teles Pires River, which is itself a major tributary of the Tapajós River, ultimately flowing into the Amazon River basin. The Arraias River plays an important role in the local ecosystem, providing water for both human use and wildlife habitat. Its course traverses through various landscapes within Mato Grosso, including areas of Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) and potentially transitional zones with Amazon rainforest. The river's flow and water quality are influenced by seasonal rainfall patterns and land use practices in its surrounding watershed. Further research is needed to fully assess the ecological health, biodiversity, and human impact on the Arraias River.
