That's a nice suggestion, but I would guess this place is pretty far away from any large concentration of Wikipedians. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.4.17.112 ( talk • contribs) .
I am confused about the opening paragraph. It says:
If it is a unique natural canal, what is gained by saying it is the "largest" river that links two systems? If there are any others then in what sense is the Casiquiare unique? Molinari 06:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
The actual elevation of the canal above sea-level is not known--
Because it is on the dark side of the earth where there is no
satellite mapping.

Casiquiare canal and Casiquiare canal-Orinoco River hydrographic divide seem to have a ton in common, and Casiquiare canal-Orinoco River hydrographic divide is orphaned. Suggest merging. Awickert ( talk) 08:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
So, does this basically mean that the entire area between the Orinoco and the Amazon is actually a huge natural island? -- 98.210.210.193 ( talk) 10:54, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
Can someone explain to me why this river is referred to as a natural canal, when canals are by definition human-made? -- oKtosiTe talk 18:40, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
"During flood stage, the Casiquiare's main outflow point into the Rio Negro is supplemented by an overflow that is a second, and more minor, entry river bifurcation into the Rio Negro and upstream from its major, common low-water entry confluence with the Rio Negro"
Can anybody understand such a sentence?

Currently, the article features a section describing the river's appearance in 'popular culture', noting that it appeared as a clue in an April 2022 episode of the trivia game show Jeopardy!. Given that this isn't usually notable enough for inclusion in an article — for example, previous Final Jeopardy answers like H&R Block have no mention of Jeopardy! on their pages — should this section be removed in its entirety?
