The Rio Salitre, also referred to as Rio Vereda da Tábua, is an intermittent stream located in the northern portion of Bahia state, Brazil. It is part of the larger São Francisco River basin. The river originates at Boca da Madeira in the municipality of Morro do Chapéu and flows until it discharges into the São Francisco River. Its course lies within a region characterized by the semi-arid climate of the Brazilian Northeast. The intermittent nature of the river is a key characteristic, meaning its flow is not permanent and is heavily dependent on seasonal rainfall patterns. This results in significant variations in water levels, with periods of flow and periods where the riverbed may be dry. The river is found near the small settlement of Abreus. The water body's basin is managed by the Salitre River Basin Committee (CBH Salitre), indicating an organized framework for water resource management in the region. The surrounding landscape and the river's connection to the vital São Francisco River contribute to its regional importance within the local ecosystem and water network.
