Among the main Brazilian [[waterway]]s, two stand out: [[Hidrovia Tietê-Paraná]] (which has a length of 2,400&nbsp;km, 1,600 on the Paraná River and 800&nbsp;km on the Tietê River, draining agricultural production from the states of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás and part of Rondônia, Tocantins and Minas Gerais) and [[Hidrovia do Solimões-Amazonas]] (it has two sections: Solimões, which extends from Tabatinga to Manaus, with approximately 1600&nbsp;km, and Amazonas, which extends from Manaus to Belém, with 1650&nbsp;km. Almost entirely passenger transport from the Amazon plain is done by this waterway, in addition to practically all cargo transportation that is directed to the major regional centers of Belém and Manaus). In Brazil, this transport is still underutilized: the most important waterway stretches, from an economic point of view, are found in the Southeast and South of the country. Its full use still depends on the construction of locks, major dredging works and, mainly, of ports that allow intermodal integration.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.novacana.com/etanol/hidrovias-como-alternativa-transporte| title = Hidrovias como alternativa para o transporte de etanol}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.dh.sp.gov.br/hidrovia-tiete-parana/| title = Hidrovia Tietê Paraná| access-date = 2021-12-30| archive-date = 2021-12-14| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20211214214849/http://www.dh.sp.gov.br/hidrovia-tiete-parana/| url-status = dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.gov.br/dnit/pt-br/assuntos/aquaviario/old/hidrovia-do-solimoes| title = Hidrovia do Solimões| work = Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes}}</ref>
