Fluvial Network of the River Plate

By Juan Sanz Sanz

The proposal is to remove the water mass of the Paraná from the main plain, pouring it into the course of the Uruguay River by its retention at the height of Posadas and its channelling through a channel to the alveus of the Uruguay River, 100 kilometres away.
The channel of the Uruguay River is more defined than that of the Paraná and its distance to the lower mouth much smaller. The first question on which we have no security is whether the Uruguay channel is capable of admitting its current flow of 8,000 metrs3 / second, plus the 18,000 meters3 / second of Paraná, that is, a mass of water of 26,000 meters3 / second in the mouth
If that were the case, that is, if the waters of the two great rivers could flow through the riverbed of Uruguay, the consequences would be very noticeable on the region that is currently being flooded. The Argentine Paraná riverbed would only receive the waters that flow in it from Posadas, particularly those of the Paraguay River. In this way they would circulate through the riverbed less leaving the main bed (several tens of kilometres) free for cultivation. In the dry season, that is, when these tributaries are not enough to maintain the minimum level, Paraná Superior itself could provide the necessary water to maintain the level that allows the work of the river ports along the great river.

Juan Sanz Sanz

Historiador y escritor. Autodidacta, Juan Sanz Sanz (1943-2019), se dedicó, desde la primera juventud, a desentrañar los problemas que le planteaban las lecturas de los hechos históricos narrados por los distintos autores que frecuentemente divergían entre sí. La Geografía fue una de sus grandes aficiones y motivo de ferviente estudio, no existiendo en la Planeta lugar, por muy recóndito que se hallase, del que no se hubiera informado exhaustivamente. El atento seguimiento de la realidad social y política en la que transcurrió su existencia se tradujo en propuestas de aprovechamiento hídrico en tres continentes y cada uno de los proyectos fue enviado en su día a los lugares que calculó más idóneos para su consecución. Los idiomas -léase el francés, el inglés, el italiano, el portugués y el alemán, además del suyo propio, el castellano-, no tenían secretos para él y así pudo disfrutar plenamente de la Literatura escrita en ellos, otra afición en la que, como hombre ilustrado, encontraba a sus iguales. En la primera juventud la guitarra española y posteriormente el piano, fueron instrumentos musicales a los que dedicó un gran esfuerzo parejo a la pasión que la Música despertaba en él y así, en la madurez, con auténtica devoción y delicadeza, interpretaba hermosas piezas de Bach, Chopin, Debussy y Beethoven que contribuyeron mucho a hacer sus días más humanos y el paso del tiempo más leve. Además de los Proyectos Hídricos, deja muchos trabajos literarios prácticamente a punto de publicar, algo que se procurará dar a la luz pública. English: Historian and writer Self-taught, Juan Sanz Sanz (1943-2019), devoted himself, from early youth, to unravelling the problems posed by the readings of historical events narrated by the various authors who frequently diverged from each other. Geography was one of his great hobbies and reason for fervent study, not existing on the planet place, no matter how remote it was, that had not been fully informed. The attentive follow-up of the social and political reality in which its existence took place resulted in proposals for water use on three continents and each of the projects was sent in its day to the places that were most suitable for its achievement. Languages - French, English, Italian, Portuguese and German, in addition to his own, Spanish - had no secrets for him and thus he could fully enjoy the literature written on them, another hobby in which, as an enlightened man, he found his peers. In early youth the Spanish guitar and later the piano, were musical instruments to which he dedicated a great effort similar to the passion that the music awoke in him and thus, in maturity, with authentic devotion and delicacy, he interpreted beautiful pieces of Bach , Chopin, Debussy and Beethoven who contributed a lot to make their days more human and the passage of time milder. In addition to the Water Projects, it leaves many literary works almost ready to publish, something that will be sought in the public light.
