Açude Taquara is a reservoir located in the municipality of Cariré, in the state of Ceará, Brazil. Built on the upper stretch of the Rio Jaibaras — a left-bank tributary of the Rio Acaraú — the dam sits at geographic coordinates approximately 40° 30' 04" west longitude and 03° 53' 32" south latitude, with the dam axis positioned roughly 1.5 km from the district of Arariús. The reservoir was constructed by DNOCS (Departamento Nacional de Obras Contra as Secas) and serves multiple purposes including human and animal water supply, fish farming, and irrigation — making it a vital resource for the semi-arid region of Ceará. The surrounding landscape reflects the characteristic Caatinga biome of northeastern Brazil, and the reservoir's waters have shown signs of eutrophication, which influences water clarity and overall aquatic conditions.
