Surface Water Resources

2020
This chapter presents three main topics: river basins and streamflows, lakes and reservoirs, and wetlands. Because they vary significantly, surface water resources and the corresponding river basins are grouped in 4 zones: arid and semi-arid zone, central zone, southern zone and Patagonia. River flows in each zone are not homogeneous and vary gradually,
