The '''Huancabamba River''' has his origin in the confluence of the rivers Huaylamayo and Chontabamba in [[Peru]]. The top course is formed by the basins of these rivers. The average course is understood between Huancabamba and the Pozuzo and his low course between Pozuzo and the confluence in the river [[Palcazu River|Palcazú]]. The river Huancabamba - Pozuzo has a general orientation of course south - north. This basin there is understood between the mountain range of Yanachaga to the East and the line departmental limit [[Huánuco]] - [[Pasco]]. |

A wrong or being wrong is a concept in law, ethics, and science. In a colloquial sense, wrongness usually refers to a state of incorrectness, inaccuracy, error or miscalculation in any number of contexts. More specifically, being "wrong" refers to a situation wherein an individual has made an error or misjudgment.
Ethics
In ethics, wrong is the opposite of right. In a relativist consideration of ethics, the factors affecting the way different cultures determine norms for what is wrong form part of the subject-matter of anthropology.
Law
In law, a wrong can NOT be a legal injury, which is any damage resulting from a violation of a legal right. It can also imply the state of being contrary to the principles of justice or law. It means that something is contrary to conscience or morality and results in treating others unjustly. If the loss caused by a wrong is minor enough, there is no compensation, which principle is known as de minimis non curat lex. Otherwise, damages apply.
Science
A scientific concept is said to be wrong if it can be used to make specific predictions of the results of experiments, but those predictions do not correspond with physical reality (i.e. the concept can be falsified in the Popperian sense, and has also been shown to be false). Wolfgang Pauli is said to have coined the phrase "not even wrong" to describe concepts that cannot be falsified (either because they do not refer to measurable effects, or because they are too incoherent to be used to make predictions).
