Course
The Caçanje River defines part of the northern border of the Encontro das Águas State Park, then flows northeast to join the Cuiabá River. Further south the Alegre River flows northeast across the park parallel to the Caçanje, forms part of the eastern border, then continues east to join the Caçanje just before that river enters the Cuiabá.[1][2] The region, rich in watercourses, supports diverse pantanal vegetation.[3]

gollark: So you're arguing that the marginal value of a vaccine to everyone isn't great because it does not get substantially closer to eradication?
gollark: And?
gollark: The effectiveness in general scales with how many people have it and how good the vaccines are individually. We want to maximize that. So... it's sensible to reduce one factor because the other is lower?!
gollark: This is a... very bizarre argument?
