Vermelho River (Santa Catarina)

The Vermelho River is a river located in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. It is a tributary of the Canoas River, itself part of the Uruguay River basin. The Vermelho River's course is primarily within the mountainous regions of central Santa Catarina, contributing to the drainage of the Planalto Serrano (Serra Plateau). Its watershed is characterized by a mix of native forests and agricultural lands, typical of the region. The river is important for local water supply and contributes to the overall biodiversity of the Uruguay River basin. The river's name, "Vermelho," translates to "Red" in Portuguese, likely referencing the color of its waters or the soil in its surrounding areas, particularly during certain periods. Information regarding the specific length, flow rate, and precise course of the river is often found in local geographic studies and environmental reports.
