Ene River

The Ene River (Spanish: Río Ene) is a Peruvian river on the eastern slopes of the South American Andes.

Geography

The Ene is formed at 12°15′45″S 73°58′30″W / 12.26250°S 73.97500°W / -12.26250; -73.97500 at the confluence of the Mantaro River and the Apurímac River, circa 400 m above sea level, where the three Peruvian Regions Junín, Cusco, and Ayacucho meet.

The river flows in a northwesterly direction at a total length of 180.6 km.

The Ene River is part of the headwaters of the Amazon River whose origin is at the Mismi south of Cuzco where it first becomes Apurímac River, then the Ene River and Tambo River before its waters meet the Ucayali River which later forms the Amazon.

At 11°09′39″S 74°14′48″W / 11.16083°S 74.24667°W / -11.16083; -74.24667 the Ene River joins the Perené River at the town Puerto Prado, 295 m above sea level, and is called the Tambo from then on.

Threats

The proposed 2,200-megawatt Pakitzapango hydroelectric dam would flood much of the Ene River valley.

River

A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague.

Rivers are part of the hydrological cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, and the release of stored water in natural ice and snowpacks (e.g. from glaciers). Potamology is the scientific study of rivers while limnology is the study of inland waters in general.

Ñ

Ñ (lower case ñ, International Phonetic Alphabet: /ˈeɲe/ "énye") is a letter of the modern Latin alphabet, formed by placing a diacritical tilde on top of an N. It became part of the Spanish in the eighteenth century, when it was first formally defined. Subsequently it has been used in other alphabets, especially those influenced by the Spanish one: Galician, Asturian, Basque, old Aragonese (Grafía de Uesca de 1987), Chavacano, Filipino, Chamorro, Guarani, Quechua, Mapudungun, Mandinka, and Tetum alphabets, as well as in Latin transliteration of Tocharian and Sanskrit, where it represents [ɲ]. It represents [ŋ] in Crimean Tatar. In Breton and in Rohingya, it denotes nasalization of the preceding vowel.

Unlike many other alphabets that use diacritic marks (such as ü in Asturian, Galician, Leonese, and Spanish), Ñ is considered a letter in its own right in these languages (except Breton), with its own name (in Spanish: eñe) and its own place in the alphabet (after N). From this point of view, its alphabetical independence is similar to the English W (which historically came from a doubled V, just as Ñ came from a doubled N).
