Namhlanje ndifuna ukukusa Isiqithi saseBananal okanye isiqithi saseBoashash, sesona siqithi sikhulu somlambo emhlabeni, silinganisa phantse amawaka angamashumi amabini amawaka eekhilomitha. Ime phakathi kweAraguaia kunye neJavaés imilambo, eBrazil. Igama lalo livela kulwandiso olukhulu lwamasimi ebhanana asendle akhoyo, ngakumbi uhlobo olubizwa ngokuba yibhukuash.
Ngokwenyani amanzi ajikeleze isiqithi ngalawo oMlambo iAraguaia, Zonke zinolwandiso olungaphezulu kweekhilomitha ezingama-2.600 kwaye ubukhulu becala kuhamba ngolwandle. Kodwa lo mlambo, ngaphambi kokungena kwiiTocantin, wahlula phakathi kwiingalo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo, eziphinda zihlangane kwakhona kwiikhilomitha ezingama-500 kamva, kwaye yile nto, emva kwayo yonke loo nto, iyila isiqithi.
Kule siqithi kukho iilali ezilishumi elinantlanu zemveli, Enye yazo iyilali yaseKanoanã, kwaye ithathwa njengenye yezona ndawo zibalulekileyo kwindalo eBrazil, kuba inezilwanyana nezityalo ezahlukeneyo.
Ndiza kukuxelela oko Ngexesha likaJanuwari ukuya kuMatshi, xa uMlambo iAraguaia unyuka, inxenye yesiqithi ihlala izele ngamanzi, kodwa ngexesha lonyaka elomileyo iBananal ibuyela kwindalo yayo, imeko eyoyikisayo, izele zizinto ezahlukeneyo.
