SEPULCRI, M.G et al. Cartografía de susceptibilidad hídrica en el delta del río Paraná. RIA. Rev. investig. agropecu. [online]. 2012, vol.38, n.2, pp.182-189. ISSN 1669-2314.

The Paraná River delta plays a key role in the economies, water resources, agriculture and social field of the region. A water susceptibility mapping of the region could be a useful tool for the decision making in the agriculture and forestry fields. In addition to the flow forecasts, an estimation of the spatial distribution of the flooding areas according to the predicted hydrologic scenario is very important. The hydrologic scenarios range from very dry (very low water) to very humid (very high water). A water susceptibility map for the mid Paraná River delta was generated using high resolution images from 1980 to 2010 time series, which were processed and classified. This resulting information can be overlapped with the topographic maps of the region and through the geographic coordinate location a field producer or another entity could be aware of the degree of damage by water that a certain area could suffer.
