User:Gil Serique/Clearwater river (river type)

White water rivers are the ones that have their sources in the Brazilian Shield. The Tapajos and The Xingu Rivers are the best example. Such rivers are famous for beautiful sand beaches exposed during the dry season. During this time(August to January)fresh water turtles and birds use it for nesting. During the rainy season these rivers inundate the adjacent forest that works as a perfect place for the fish to shelter, feed and spawn. That is called Igapo forest.
