The Hamza River (Portuguese: Rio Hamza) is an unofficial name[1] for what seems to be a slowly flowing aquifer in Brazil and Peru, approximately 6,000 kilometres (3,700 mi) long at a depth of nearly 4 kilometres (2.5 mi).[weasel words] Its discovery was announced in 2011 at a meeting of the Geophysical Society in Rio de Janeiro.[2][3][4] The unofficial name is in honour of Indian scientist Valiya Mannathal Hamza, of Brazil's National Observatory,[5] who has undertaken research on the region for four decades.[6] The Hamza "river" and the Amazon River form a geologically unusual instance of a twin-river system flowing at different levels of the Earth's crust.
