Porto Velho in RondSnia and the industrial capital of the basin, Manaus (Sant Anna, 1998). Much of the highway remains as when it was first built, unpaved and impassable during the rainy season. Nevertheless, its thoroughfare has decisively cut open the Amazon forest to the south of the river, forever changing the cultural landscape of both Brazil and the region it made accessible to the world (Fig. 33.1).

A survey of the streams and rivers crossing the highway between Cuiabi and Porto Velho revealed that the conductivity and caldum concentration of waters from the sandstones of the Pareds Formation between Diamentino and Pimenta Bueno are similarly low 6), This region of Mato Grosso is also located in the region of the Central Brazilian Shield. There are few water bodies in the world with such low mineral nutrient content, but values nearly as low have been recorded in New Guinea, where the conductivity of the rainwater was sometimes equivalent to that in the Rio das Mortes (7).
