Plata River Basin

The Plata River Basin, also known as the La Plata River Basin, is a major watershed in South America that covers parts of Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Bolivia. It includes the Paraguay and Paraná rivers, which flow into the Uruguay River and ultimately form the Rio de la Plata estuary, one of the world’s largest river ports. This basin supports diverse ecosystems, agriculture, and urban areas, providing water resources and transportation routes. It plays a vital role in regional economies and environmental health, influencing water management and conservation efforts across multiple countries.
