Jardim River (Federal District)

The Jardim River is a small river located within the Federal District of Brazil, specifically in the administrative region of Jardim Botânico. It is a tributary of the Paranoá Lake. The river's name translates to "Garden River" in English, reflecting its location within or near garden-like areas. The Jardim River is primarily a drainage basin for rainwater runoff and natural spring water. Its course is relatively short and characterized by fluctuating water levels depending on the rainy and dry seasons. Efforts are made to preserve the river's water quality and surrounding ecosystem, particularly given the proximity to the Jardim Botânico de Brasília (Brasília Botanical Garden). The river is an important element of the regional hydrology and contributes to the overall ecological balance of the area. Its relatively small size often leads it to be overlooked in broader discussions of the Federal District's major waterways.
