Laranjeiras River (Santa Catarina)

The Laranjeiras River is a river located in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. It flows primarily through the northern region of the state. The river's course meanders through a landscape characterized by Atlantic Forest remnants and agricultural lands. It is a tributary of a larger river system within the state, ultimately contributing to the drainage basin that empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Specific details regarding the river's length, precise source, and mouth, as well as its hydrological regime, may vary and require further investigation from authoritative sources such as the Brazilian National Water Agency (ANA) or relevant state environmental agencies. The river's name, "Laranjeiras," translates to "Orange Trees" in Portuguese, suggesting the potential historical presence of orange groves in the river's vicinity. The river likely serves multiple purposes for local communities, including water supply, irrigation, and potentially, recreational activities. Its water quality and ecological health are subject to the impacts of human activities within its watershed.
