		Venezuela also alleged that the Catalonian Capuchin missionaries had occupied the district between the Orinoco and Cape Nassau and between the sea and the Caroni River.
		Subsequently, on the 19 May 1879, Venezuela, in a Note to the British Government, stated that it possessed proof that the Essequibo River was the eastern boundary of Venezuelan Guiana; the Venezuelan Ambassador, at the same time, requested the Government of Great Britain to make a proposal for "a frontier of accommodation".
		This recommendation, however, was not accepted by Venezuela which continued to assert the claim to all territory as far as the Essequibo River despite its proposal in 1881 of a boundary line along 60 degrees West longitude.

	5.5 ENSO Impacts on the Flow of the Caroní River, Venezuela (2003 - IMPACTH2O) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Caroní river, one of the major tributaries of the Oricono, is located in southeastern Venezuela and drains an area of approximately 95,000 km2.
		Hydroelectric power generated by dams on the Caroní supply Venezuela with over 70% of its electricity, thus making the variations in the flow of this river a key factor in the economic life of this country.
		Monthly anomalies in the Caroní river flow were most significantly correlated to the sea surface temperature anomalies in the Niño 34 box (located 5?N to 5?S and 170?W to 120?W).

		One of the major effects of dam construction on river fish commúnities is the decline and possible disappearance of diadromous species.
		This is because the adults are prevented from migrating upstream to spawn and the downstream movement of juveniles is delayed (Welcomme, 1985).
		The Guri dam in Venezuela's Caroni river impedes the upstream migration of the prochilodontids, Prochilodus mariae and Semaprochilodus spp.

	Orinoco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most of the important Venezuelan rivers are tributaries of the Orinoco, the largest being the Caroní, which joins it at Puerto Ordaz, close to the Llovizna Falls.
		A peculiarity of the Orinoco river system is the Casiquiare canal, which starts as an arm of the Orinoco, and finds its way to the Rio Negro, a tributary of the Amazon, thus forming a 'natural canal' between Orinoco and Amazon.
		The river is navigable for most of its length, and dredging enables ocean ships to go as far as Ciudad Bolívar, the conflence of the Caroní River, 435 km upstream.

	VENEZUELA: Government Claims a Stake in Mining
		The Caroní, which flows into the Orinoco River and has a watershed extending across 95,000 square km, is an important hydroelectric source, with potential to generate 25,000 megawatts, half of which is already produced by three dams in the river's lower stretch.
		Along the Upper Caroní, mining is prohibited, and the vice-minister for environment, Nora Delgado, one of the directors of the new agency ENM, said that an objective of her office is to progressively clear the river basin of mining.
		But even if the Caroní River basin is cleared of mining operations, as Amigransa proposes, northeast of there is the Sierra de Imataca, a 38,000-square-km area with 80 percent rainforest but also a band of green rock that could hold more than 8,000 tonnes of gold.

		Two years earlier I was flipping through an old issue of National Geographic and came across an article, "Venezuela's Islands in Time," about a strange land in the country's southeast corner, a vast tropical wilderness with table-topped mountains, rivers and grasslands called sabana.
		As we paddled along a quiet stretch of river we noticed a small group of dugout canoes sliding along under overhanging branches.
		We had been purifying and drinking 80-degree river water for a month and a cold drink was a grand treat.

		When the Three Gorges Dam begins to impound the waters of the Yangtze River in south central China later this year, dozens of the mountains and other elevated areas upstream will become islands.
		If the ecological results of similar projects around the world are a guide, the outcome will devastate the rich diversity of species now living along the river, according to a team of scientists.
		Also, small islands in Lake Guri, which formed when Venezuela's Caroní River was dammed in 1986, lost their top predators in less than 4 years, and more than 75 percent of their vertebrate species disappeared within 15 years.

	Caroní River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Caroní River is a major river of the Orinoco basin in South America, having its source in South Eastern Venezuela, in the Guiana Highlands.
		It is a flwater river, with the dark color of the water due to leaching from decomposed plant sediments, not from the amount of iron around the riverbed as is often suggested.
		This city was created by the fusion of the old settlement of San Felix and the new town of Puerto Ordaz on either side of the river.
