ABSTRACT
This paper presents results of particular interest for the assessment
of the water quality of the Paraná River. By considering its physical-chemical
and bacteriological composition at this point in time, it is possible to
make important political decisions related to environmental legislation,
which are especially relevant to the regulation of human activities. Information
is presented on water quality variations of the Paraná River for
pH, color, turbidity and conductivity over a period of ten years between
1982 and 1992 at a monitoring point in Corrientes, northeastern Argentina.
