| Remarks |
The river is 3–6 meters wide, and during the dry season only 30–90 cm deep with water visibility ~1.2 m. Water parameters measured during the dry season in February, 2006 were: General hardness 0, Carbonate hardness 0, pH 5.8, and temperature 24° C.
The site was ringed by dense forest and often fallen trees obstructing access to the water in many places.
Margins of the river were densely overgrown by Anubias lanceolata, and exposed boulders and fallen trees have large clusters of Bolibitis heudelotti and other ferns. The river substrate consisted of fine gravel
with a few larger rocks and boulders. Dense growths of Vallisneria were found where sunlight penetrated
through the trees (Ref. 81928). |
