		From the Uribante-Sarare junction to the Orinoco the length of the Apure is 645 m., of which Codazzi makes the doubtful claim that 564 are navigable, for there are some troublesome rapids 114 m.
		A few large streams enter the lower Apure from the south, but they are frequently entangled in lateral canals, due to the slight elevation of the plains above sea-level, the waters of the Apure, especially during flood time, having opened a great number of catios before reaching the Orinoco.
		Maintaining its eastern course from the Apure, the main stream finds its way along the southern side of the delta, where it is called the Corosimi river, and enters the sea at the Boca Grande; but in front of the Tortola island, at the beginning of the Corosimi and 100 m.

		The approach was applied to the optimization of a system of the three reservoirs located in the Apure river basin, the largest tributary of Orinoco (Venezuela).
		In out case study 21 subcatchments of the Apure river basin were selected for the simulation of one year of hydrological data.
		For the study of the Apure river basin, not all data necessary for the comprehensive modelling was present, partly because the parameters of the reservoirs under construction are not yet fully known.

		The road as far as the unprepossessing town of San Fernando had been excellent, but on crossing the Apure River into Apure state it deteriorated rapidly, although some sections were still fine, and all of it was in better condition than I had expected.
		Hundreds of rivers cross the Bajo Llanos of Apure draining the Venezuelan Andes into the Orinoco basin, and narrow bands of lush forest line their courses, so that often a line of trees on the horizon marking the next river crossing was the only break in the monotony of the vast plains.
		These rivers, which varied from narrow caños choked with purple water hyacinths to broad brown sluggish rivers, were crossed mainly by narrow metal bridges, but a couple of the wider ones relied on the chalana system.

		That is to say, these two rivers, when being connected by an extraordinary hydrologic plan, would be turned into the main objective and perspective of development for the countries and nations of the region.
		This means that despite of having smaller river basins, the tributaries to the left margin of the Amazon River, including Orinoco River, deliver higher water contributions of water than the tributaries to the south.
		Similarly than in the Amazon River, the criteria to prevail would be that the sections and spaces to install the hydroelectric fronts would be in the edges of its main tributaries where appropriate depth exist and where the river navigation would not be affected.

		In tropical flwater rivers (high concentrations of dissolved organic compounds, low PH and conductivity, low concentrations of nutrients and suspended solids), aquatic insect abundance is low with most species and biomass concentrated in leaf litter and woody debris.
		The leveed river yielded unstable predator-prey dynamics as a result of channel confinement and regulated rivers resulted in low or oscillating grazer populations that ultimately were unable to sustain viable predator populations.
		Dams obviously fragment rivers in the longitudinal dimension.

		This overconcentration has created tremendous imbalances in the country, leaving disempowered the southern part of the nation, more than 75% of the territory where most natural resources are located.
		To overcome these imbalances a regional development project along the Orinoco and Apure river basin--300 thousand square kilometers--has been proposed.
		It is not only intended to attend economic imbalances, but also respond to political and social demands, while paying attention to environmental concerns by the means of political and territorial decentralization and deconcentration.

		We visited at the end of the wet season, meaning there were still many flooded grasslands filled with birds and we could travel up the Apure river and its smaller tributaries by long metal canoe (with outboard).
		Until a few weeks old the young fall from their nests when threatened, landing in the river water in which they swim until it is safe to come up.

		The most important wetland sites of the western Llanos are the "Módulos de Apure" (Apure Modules), "Esteros de Camaguán" (Camaguán Marshes), the central and western low Llanos, and the palm savannas of the eolic flat in the south of Apure.
		In addition, the "Cuenca Orinoco-Apure" project is actively under consideration, which aims to make the Apure, which flows through the heart of the Venezuelan Llanos, navigable to commercial vessels and allow their passage from the Atlantic, via the Orinoco, to Colombia.
		Associated with this are plans to dam many of its tributaries to provide water for release during the dry season and maintain water levels, which may have a serious impact on natural flooding cycles throughout the region.

		This paper examines the flood mitigation measures centered around the construction of one-side dikes on primitive rivers.
		The implementation of such measures in the early stages of land development is considered vital to avoid the high costs and time required to execute effective flood mitigation works after the river areas are reclaimed.
		We examined two projects; the Apure River and the Chama River projects, on which the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources in Venezuela and the Japan International Cooperation Agency performed the flood mitigation planning in 1993 and in 1990, respectively.
