Riachuelo River

The Riachuelo River, also known as the Matanza-Riachuelo, is a river in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It flows through a densely populated area and has historically faced pollution challenges due to industrial waste, sewage, and urban runoff. Despite efforts to improve its condition, it remains environmentally impaired. The river plays a significant role in the region's geography and urban development but requires ongoing environmental management to enhance water quality and ecosystem health.
