The Parana River, that flows throughout
an ample fault of continental magnitude, reaches a length of 2,570
kilometers and constitutes one of the axes collectors of the gigantic
Río de la Plata that has a total surface of 1,500,000 km2.
The Delta of Parana occupies a surface of 14,000 km2 and has a
wide length of 320 km and a very variable one, that go as opposed
to from 18 km Baradero to more than 60 km between the Lujan River
and Gutiérrez River. Parana River is an alive delta of
14,000 km2, originated by the originating sediment deposition
of all the Río de la Plata. The sediments that are deposited
on the River of the Silver gives to the Delta of Parana its singularity
him to world-wide level. This characteristic determines the permanent
"advance" of the Delta, that is considered between 70
to 90 meters per year.
The moderating effect of the winter temperatures, produced by
the great masses of water that conform the Delta of Parana, allows
the establishment, in tempered latitudes, of species animals and
vegetables of subtropical origin. The predominant plants in the
Delta of Parana are aquatic and palustres species as Camalotes
and Totoras. Abound the lianas and epífitas species and
lodges a great diversity of arboreal species like as Laurel, Ingá,
Higuerón, Canelón, Anacahuita, Mataojo, Bathed Thorn
and Paraná pine. Between the vertebrates, the group of
the Fish is one of the most varied in the Delta, having itself
detected for the region 223 species. The mammals, amphibians and
reptiles have taken advantage of to reach these latitudes, means
of natural transport: the "camalotales". On these platforms
they have been a infinity of insects, vipers, frogs, toads, poisonous
snakes, Howling Jacares, Capybaras, Monkeys, and in the camalotales
of great size, until Yaguaretés.
The hunting in the Delta has taken to the disappearance of species
like the Yaguareté and to put in danger of extinction to
the Lobito de Río, to the Red deer of Marshes and other
animals as the Coipo and the Capybara.
In Buenos Aires it occupies the northeast portion of the Parties
of San Pedro, Baradero, Zárate, Campana, Escobar and Tigre,
and the totality of the Partido of San Fernando.
The Buenosarian Delta occupies a territory of 88,624 hectares
in the municipality San Fernando. There are very beautiful landscapes
but the contaminated waters are serious problem. The Reconquista
river, that as it is known ends at the Luján river to the
height of Tigre, contributes only 33% of contamination by means
of a concentration of bacilli coli to he that preannounce the
presence of only comparable pathogenic germs to which they are
in cloacales liquids. The lack of an suitable treatment of the
polluting affluents periodically carries massive losses of life
of fish and serious sanitary problems to the coastal populations.
