Salado River
(Redirected from Salado River (Argentina))
The Salado River (Río Salado,[1] es "Salty River") is a river that crosses several provinces of Argentina, flowing 1,150 kilometres (710 mi)[2] from its source in the Salta Province to end in the Paraná River, in the Santa Fe Province.
Higher Salado
[change | change source]The Salado originates on the eastern edge of the Altiplano under the name of Juramento River at the Andes range, from thaw and captured precipitations of the 6,500-metre (21,300 ft) high Acay and Cachi mountains in the Salta Province, near Catamarca Province. The Cabra Corral Dam regulates its flow, and deviates some of it for irrigation.
When the river enters the Gran Chaco plains it forms several arms in a broad riverbed only partially occupied.[2]
