What is meeting of the water?

The meeting of the waters refers to the point in Brazil at which the dark-colored Rio Negro and the lighter-colored Solimões River meet to form the Amazon River. Due to differences in temperature, speed, and water density, the two rivers flow side by side without mixing for several kilometers before eventually merging. This phenomenon is a popular tourist destination and is also significant for its impact on the local ecosystem, as the meeting point creates a unique environment for the plants and animals that inhabit the area.
