Salado River (Argentina)

When the river enters the Gran Chaco plains it forms several arms in a broad riverbed only partially occupied.

Further downstream, the river forms wide marsh wetlands and areas flooded seasonally, during the summer's major high waters.

Downstream of the Añatuya marshlands the streamflow is greatly reduced, rendering the river dry most of the year.

[2] After a course of 800 kilometres (500 mi) inside Santiago del Estero, the river reaches the Santa Fe Province as Salado del Norte ("Northern Salty") to finally join the Paraná River in that province, being the last important tributary to the Paraná.

The Salado debouches into the Paraná River southeast of Santa Fe City, in a flooding area with lagoons.
