The Paraná River basin, spanning Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, is a region of immense importance, housing significant population centers and vital ecosystems that face threats from development. At the same time, the Paraná River serves as a vital resource driving the economies of the nations within its boundaries. This comprehensive volume delves into the multifaceted challenges of environmental degradation, exploring the trade-offs between the energy sector and the preservation of ecosystem services. It specifically focuses on the threats posed by development to sensitive ecosystems within the basin and the complexities of transboundary water resource management. In addition to offering broader perspectives on water management, the book covers a wide range of topics, including water infrastructure, aquatic ecosystems, water quality, geomorphological influences, and the impact of climate change. By assessing each country's current status in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, this volume provides a timely analysis as national governments within the basin increasingly prioritize the sustainability of the freshwater ecosystems within the Paraná River basin.
This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of water and natural resource management, environmental policy, sustainable development, and Latin American studies. It will also be of interest to water management professionals seeking to understand the complex dynamics and challenges of managing water resources in this region.
