Açude Gangorra is a reservoir (açude) located in Paraú, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Situated at approximately 5°47′34″S, 37°10′3″W, this water body is characteristic of the semi-arid northeastern Brazilian interior, where man-made reservoirs serve as vital freshwater resources in a region defined by seasonal rainfall and periodic drought. Like many açudes throughout the sertão of Rio Grande do Norte, Gangorra reflects the broader landscape of the Caatinga biome — a rugged, sun-baked environment where fishing in these impoundments is both a cultural tradition and a practical pursuit.
