Açude Joaquim Távora is a reservoir located in the municipality of Jaguaribe, within the state of Ceará, Brazil. It is situated in the Médio Jaguaribe water system. The reservoir's catchment basin covers an area of approximately 120.69 square kilometers. The surrounding region is actively managed for water resources, with a specific committee developing drought contingency plans for the reservoir, indicating it is subject to significant seasonal and climatic variations in water level. This suggests that the reservoir's size and accessible shoreline can fluctuate considerably, potentially affecting paddling conditions and access points. The reservoir's primary function appears to be water storage and management within the Jaguaribe River basin. Paddlers should be aware that the water body is part of a managed hydrological system, and its conditions are directly influenced by regional drought plans and water usage policies.
