Gualeguay River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gualeguay River is one of the major rivers of the Mesopotamic province of Entre Ríos, Argentina. It is born in the north of the province, in the region between the cities of Federación and San José de Feliciano, and meanders in a general south-southwestward direction across the center of the province for about 350–375 km, receiving a large number of tributary streams. It passes by the cities of Villaguay, Rosario del Tala and Gualeguay, and finally empties into the Paraná Pavón/Paraná Ibicuy branches of the Paraná River Delta.
The Gualeguay's drainage basin covers an area of 22,716 km² (about one third of the total area of the province), along a depressed area between the systems of low hills of the west (Cuchilla de Montiel) and east (Cuchilla Grande) of Entre Ríos. Measurements taken in 1964–1968 place its average flow at 210 m³/s.
