Real River (Brazil)

The Real River (Rio Real) is a river located in northeastern Brazil, forming part of the border between the states of Sergipe and Bahia. It is approximately 140 kilometers (87 miles) long.

The river rises in the municipality of Tucano, Bahia, and flows generally eastward to its mouth at the Atlantic Ocean. It is characterized by a relatively small drainage basin and is susceptible to seasonal variations in water flow.

The surrounding vegetation is primarily characterized by Caatinga, a semi-arid biome, and patches of Atlantic Forest closer to the coast. The river is utilized for local agriculture and domestic water supply. There are conservation efforts focused on protecting the biodiversity of the riverine ecosystem and mitigating the impacts of human activities, such as deforestation and pollution. The river's estuary provides important habitat for various fish and bird species.
