The Gonçalves Dias River is a river of Paraná state in southern Brazil.
The Gonçalves Dias River is a river of Paraná state in southern Brazil. It is a tributary of the Paraná River and forms part of the Itaipu Lake. The river has a length of about 100 km and drains an area of 1,200 km2.[1]
The river is named after Antônio Gonçalves Dias, a Brazilian poet and ethnologist who died in a shipwreck near its mouth in 1864.[2]
The river flows through several municipalities, including Santa Tereza do Oeste, Catanduvas and Três Barras do Paraná. The river is used for irrigation, fishing and recreation.[1]
The river is also subject to environmental fragility and contamination by pesticides due to intensive agricultural activities in its basin. A recent study found high levels of organochlorine compounds in the water and sediment samples collected from different sites along the river.[1]
