Guariba River (Aripuanã River tributary)
The Guariba River is a river in the Amazon Basin of South America. It is a tributary of the Aripuanã River, which is itself a significant tributary of the Madeira River. The Guariba River flows primarily through the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Information on the Guariba River's precise length, drainage basin size, and specific ecological characteristics is limited, but it is known to be located within a region of dense rainforest. As a tributary of the Aripuanã, it contributes to the overall biodiversity and hydrological processes of the Amazon Basin. Local communities may rely on the river for transportation, fishing, and other resources. Conservation efforts in the region often focus on protecting the larger Aripuanã River basin, which indirectly benefits the Guariba River's ecosystem.
