Paraná River
(redirected from Rio Parana)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Paraná River

River, South America. It is the continent's second longest river (after the Amazon River) and rises on the plateau of southeast-central Brazil. It flows generally south 3,032 mi (4,880 km) to join the Uruguay River and form the Río de la Plata estuary on the Atlantic Ocean. Its drainage basin includes most of southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, eastern Bolivia, and northern Argentina. From its origin at the confluence of the Grande and Paranaíba rivers to its junction with the Paraguay River, it is known as the Alto (Upper) Paraná. Completion of the Itaipú Dam between Paraguay and Brazil in the 1980s submerged the massive Guaíra Falls and created a large reservoir.

Argentina is the world's third largest soybean producer and Rosario's port is the country's main grain exporter, located at the Rio Parana, which provides direct access to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
The project on the Rio Parana, run by the Entidad Binacional Yacyreta (EBY), took more than twenty years to complete and since completion has struggled to produce at capacity (see NotiSur, 1998-07-10, 2000-03-03 and 2004-04-23).
