	Guyana Guyana ( or ), officially the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, is a country on the northern mainland of South America. Guyana is an indigenous word which means "Land of Many Waters". The capital city is Georgetown. Guyana is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, Brazil to the south and southwest, Venezuela to the west, and Suriname to the east. With , Guyana is the third-smallest sovereign state by area in mainland South America after Uruguay and Suriname, and is the second-least populous sovereign state in South America after Suriname; it is also one of the least densely populated countries on Earth. It has a wide variety of natural habitats and very high biodiversity. The region known as "the Guianas" consists of the large shield landmass north of the Amazon River and east of the Orinoco River known as the "land of many waters". Nine indigenous tribes reside in Guyana: the Wai Wai, Macushi, Patamona, Lokono, Kalina, Wapishana, Pemon, Akawaio and Warao. Histo ...

	Wenamu River Wenamu River (Venamo River) is a river in South America. It forms a portion of the international boundary between Venezuela and Guyana. It is part of the Essequibo River basin. Mango Landing is a small settlement on the Guyana side of the Wanamu River. Other settlements include Arau and Kaikan village. There is an airstrip that mostly serves miners working in the area. The Wenamu has been a part of the long territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela. In 2007, Venezuelan troops used C-4 (explosive) to destroy mining dredges illegally in their territory. The Wenamu is also a crossing point for Venezuelan refugees entering Guyana.

	Oko River The Oko River is a river of Guyana, a tributary of the Wenamu River and a part of the middle-Mazaruni River, Mazaruni. Mining is a major economic activity in the area and there are medium-scale international operations in the area. Illegal dredging and clear cutting practices associated with mining cause some damage to the Oko area. In 1999, the bones of a megatherium, an extinct gigantic sloth, were discovered by miners around Omai and the Oko Creek, Cuyuni River. A model of the megatherium was created and put on display at the Guyana National Museum. There is also a settlement by the name Oko.

picture info	Cuyuni River The Cuyuni River is a South American river and a tributary of the Essequibo River. It rises in the Guiana Highlands of Venezuela, where it descends northward to El Dorado, and turns eastward to meander through the tropical rain forests of the Cuyuni-Mazaruni Region of Guyana. It finally turns southeastward, flowing to its confluence with the Mazaruni River. The Cuyuni River marks the limit of the disputed territory of Guyana Essequibo for approximately . Makarapan Mountain is a sandstone range by the Cuyuni. History In 1681, an island in the mouth of the Cuyuni River was cleared and planted with cassava for the use of the Dutch garrison. By 1694, a new plantation on the Cuyuni River above the fort was established. By 1703 a post was established on the Pariacot Savannah, in the upper Cuyuni. On January 2, 1895, the "Incident of the Cuyuni river", so named by the general , was an armed confrontation between Venezuelans and British in the region of the river over the territori ...

	Puruni River The Puruni River (Spanish: ''Rio Carmen'') is a river of Guyana in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni region. In 2017, Ministry of Natural Resources issued five cease and desist orders against gold-mining dredges on the Puruni river. Gold mining is done on many waterways in the country, and the dredging process has had a detrimental impact on bio-diversity. The Guyana Human Rights Association, described the river as “a ruinous mess of tailings and devastation” for miles and unnavigable for large stretches. The remote area has very little oversight, so crime is a major problem around the mining camps, and many Brazilian miners also mine illegally. Logging also takes place in the area surrounding the river. See also List of rivers of Guyana This is a list of rivers in Guyana.

	Merume River The Merume River is a river of Guyana, a tributary of the Kamarang River. Merume is also the name of a nearby mountain, which is 30 miles east of Mount Roraima. Director Creek is a tributary of Merume River. First Falls is a feature of the river which also limits travel by boat. Merumite was discovered in 1937 appearing as black grains among diamonds and gold in the river gravel. In 1958, merumite was determined to be a complex aggregate of eskolaite and chromium, X-ray diffraction data showed it contained eskolaite, guyanaite, bracewellite, grimaldiite, and mcconnellite. Kamakusa was a settlement along the river, and formerly a government center. See also List of rivers of Guyana This is a list of rivers in Guyana.

	Kurupung River The Kurupung River is a tributary of the middle Mazaruni River in Guyana. Kumerau Falls is a feature of the river. Mineral resources The area around the river has been used for diamond mining. It was the location for Guyana's first diamond rush of the 1920s. The largest stone recorded as found weighed 29 and five-sixteenth carats and was brought to the commissioner of lands and mines in 1921. It was called 'Kurupung' and bought for USD $4000. U3O8 Corp of Canada prospected for uranium in the Kurupung batholith around 2010. Settlement Kurupung is a mining village along the river. Since the 1970s, the Kurupung River has been of interest for a possible hydroelectric dam. The project was criticized by the Akawaio, because it would flood out their communities. In 2013, Sandspring Resources signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the government of Guyana giving the company the exclusive right to develop the Kurupung River Hydroelectric Project, estimated to produce 100 megawat ...

	Kamarang River Kamarang River is a river in Venezuela and Guyana, and a part of the Essequibo River basin. Route The river originates in Venezuela where it is called Río Camarán or Río Camurán. Its source is located right next to the Troncal 10, in the middle of the Gran Sabana region. The nascent river first flows in parallel to the road in a southeasterly direction. It then passes the road a few meters after the Campamento Kamoiran. Here the river forms the Kamoiran rapids. Its course then turns more eastward for several kilometers through open Savannah. Shortly after entering the disputed Guayana Esequiba territory in Guyana the river drops roughly 160 meters at the impressive Kamarang falls creating a 40 meter wide water curtain. The Kamarang River then flows through a deep forested gorge first north-, then eastbound. This area is very remote and inhabited by the Arecuna people and rarely visited as it is difficult to access from both Guyana and Venezuela. The river then flows east th ...
