Mitare River
River in Venezuela
The Mitare River (Spanish: Río Mitare) is a river in northwestern Venezuela.
The Mitare River flows through the Paraguana xeric scrub ecoregion.
In its delta it divides into the Pedregal and Paraíso rivers, which empty into the gulf of Coro on the Caribbean.
The delta of the Mitare, which is an intermittent stream, was changed in nature when the seaway of the La Vela gulf was closed.
Formerly the delta was highly destructive, but after the closure it became highly constructive.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Mitare River”, the useful work is to connect “river in Venezuela” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30066164. Authority coordinates are 11.405, -69.969. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
