Parana Historic Low Level Hits Enviroment and Agribusiness

ROSARIO, ARGENTINA - JULY 03: A general view of the Nuestra Señora del Rosario bridge which links the cities of Rosario and Victoria on July 3, 2021 in Rosario, Argentina. At less than half of its historical average, the low flow of the Parana river affects circulation of vessels transporting crops for export. This situation has a great impact in Argentina's major income source. Experts point deforestation, canalisation and dams as the main reasons for enviromental and climate change. Amid this situation, Argentina announced that the State would take control of the waterway and not renew the contract to foreign concessionaries. Villagers of the river delta are concerned about the Parana drying up threatening not only their commercial activities but their homeland. (Photo by Sebastian Lopez Brach/Getty Images)
