La Plata Basin
The Rio de la Plata Basin is the name given to the 3,100,000 km hydrographical area that covers parts of Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay.
The precipitations falling within this area are collected by several rives to finally reach the Rio de la Plata, many of them through the Parana River and the Uruguay River, its two most important tributaries.
Among such rivers are the Paraguay, Pilcomayo, Bermejo, Salado, Carcarana, Tercero, Cuarto, Iguazu, Salado del Sur, Gualeguay, Nogoya, Mocoreta, Gualeguaychu, Mirinay, Aguapey, Negro, Guaycuru, San Javier, Guayquiraro and Samborombon.
