उत्तर १
- The waterways in Brazil are not well developed due to geographical challenges.
- Most Brazilian rivers flow at high speeds, making navigation difficult.
- The rivers in Brazil are located in highlands, which makes them less accessible.
- The remoteness of these rivers further limits their development and utilisation.
- Many of Brazil’s rivers have a huge amount of discharge, which complicates their use for transportation.
उत्तर २
- Presence of Waterfalls and Rapids: Many rivers in Brazil, especially in the highland regions, have numerous waterfalls and rapids, making navigation difficult.
- Seasonal Variation in Water Levels: Some rivers experience fluctuating water levels due to heavy rainfall in some seasons and drought-like conditions in others, affecting continuous water transport.
- Dense Rainforests and Remote Areas: The Amazon Rainforest covers a vast portion of Brazil, making it challenging to construct ports, docks, and navigational infrastructure in these areas.
