\nO rio Paran\u00e1 (‘como o mar’ ou ‘parecido com o mar’, do tupi para (mar) e na (se parece com ou como) \u00e9 um rio sul-americano que nasce entre os estados de S\u00e3o Paulo, Minas Gerais e Mato Grosso do Sul, no Brasil, na conflu\u00eancia de dois importantes rios brasileiros: o Rio Grande e Parana\u00edba. O Rio Paran\u00e1 corre aproximadamente no eixo central da Bacia do Paran\u00e1, uma ampla bacia sedimentar.<\/p>\n

Em seu percurso, banha tamb\u00e9m o estado do Paran\u00e1, adquirindo uma extens\u00e3o total de 3.998 km, que lhe renderia o posto de o nono rio mais extenso do mundo, caso fosse contado o trecho do rio Parana\u00edba. O rio Paran\u00e1 demarca a fronteira entre Brasil e Paraguai numa extens\u00e3o de 190 km at\u00e9 \u00e0 foz do rio Igua\u00e7u.<\/p>\n

A partir de Foz do Igua\u00e7u, o rio muda para dire\u00e7\u00e3o oeste e passa a ser o limite natural entre Argentina e Paraguai. Na conflu\u00eancia do rio Paraguai o rio entra inteiramente em terras argentinas e passa a percorrer a dire\u00e7\u00e3o sul, desaguando no delta do Paran\u00e1 e, conseq\u00fcentemente, no Rio da Prata.<\/p>\n

A sua vaz\u00e3o na foz, de 16.000 m\u00b3\/s, \u00e9 compar\u00e1vel \u00e0 de rios como o rio Mississippi (18.000 m\u00b3\/s) e o rio Ganges(16.000 m\u00b3\/s).<\/p>\n

No trecho brasileiro h\u00e1 a barragem de Jupi\u00e1, que est\u00e1 localizada a 21 quil\u00f4metros da conflu\u00eancia com o rio Tiet\u00ea, assim como tamb\u00e9m a barragem de Ilha Solteira, enquanto na fronteira do Paraguai com o Brasil est\u00e1 a usina-barragem de Itaipu, e na fronteira entre a Argentina e o Paraguai, Yacyret\u00e1. As duas hidroel\u00e9tricas fornecem 99% da eletricidade do Paraguai (90% s\u00f3 de Itaip\u00fa), e fazem do pa\u00eds o maior exportador de eletricidade do mundo.<\/p>\n

A floresta tropical e subtropical que antes ocupava boa parte da bacia do Paran\u00e1 encontra-se largamente extinta; a \u00e1rea mais preservada encontra-se na prov\u00edncia argentina de Misiones.
\n———————-
\nEl Paran\u00e1 es un r\u00edo de Am\u00e9rica del Sur que atraviesa la mitad sur del subcontinente y forma parte de la extensa cuenca combinada del Plata.<\/p>\n

Esta cuenca recoge las aguas de la mayor\u00eda de los r\u00edos del sur del subcontinente, como el Paran\u00e1, el Paraguay, el Uruguay, sus afluentes y diversos humedales, como el Pantanal, los Esteros del Ibera y el Ba\u00f1ado la Estrella . Es la segunda cuenca m\u00e1s extensa de Sudam\u00e9rica, s\u00f3lo superada por la del r\u00edo Amazonas.<\/p>\n

La uni\u00f3n de los r\u00edos Paran\u00e1 y Uruguay forman el estuario denominado R\u00edo de la Plata, donde el Paran\u00e1 desemboca en un delta en constante crecimiento, producto de los sedimentos que aportan, principalmente, los r\u00edos Paraguay y Bermejo.<\/p>\n

Paran\u00e1 es el ap\u00f3cope de la expresi\u00f3n "para rehe on\u00e1va" que en idioma guaran\u00ed significa "pariente del mar" o "agua que se mezcla con el mar".
\n=============
\nThe Paran\u00e1 River (Spanish: R\u00edo Paran\u00e1, Portuguese: Rio Paran\u00e1) is a river in south Central South America, running through Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina for some 4,880 kilometres (3,030 mi).[2] It is second in length only to the Amazon River among South American rivers. The name Paran\u00e1 is an abbreviation of the phrase "para rehe on\u00e1va", which comes from the Tupi language and means "like the sea" (that is, "as big as the sea"). It merges first with the Paraguay River and then farther downstream with the Uruguay River to form the R\u00edo de la Plata and empties into the Atlantic Ocean.
\nThe course is formed at the confluence of the Paranaiba and Grande rivers in southern Brazil. From the confluence the river flows in a generally southwestern direction for about 619 km (385 miles) before encountering the city of Saltos del Guaira, Paraguay. This was once the location of the Sete Quedas waterfall, where the Paran\u00e1 fell over a series of seven cascades. This natural feature was said to rival the world famous Iguazu Falls to the south. The falls were flooded, however, by the construction of the Itaipu dam, which began operating in 1984.<\/p>\n

For approximately the next 200 km (125 miles) the Parana flows southward and forms a natural boundary between Paraguay and Brazil until the confluence with the Iguazu River. Shortly upstream from this confluence, however, the river is dammed by the impressive Itaipu Dam, the second largest hydroelectric power station in the world (after the Three Gorges Dam in the People’s Republic of China), and creating a massive, shallow reservoir behind it.<\/p>\n

After merging with the Iguazu, the Paran\u00e1 then becomes the natural border between Paraguay and Argentina. Overlooking the Paran\u00e1 River from Encarnaci\u00f3n, Paraguay, across the river, is downtown Posadas, Argentina. The river continues its general southward course for about 468 km (291 miles) before making a gradual turn to the west for another 820 km (510 miles), and then encounters the Paraguay River, the largest tributary along the course of the river. Before this confluence the river passes through a second major hydroelectric project, the Yaciret\u00e1 dam, a joint project between Paraguay and Argentina. The massive reservoir formed by the project has been the source of a number of problems for people living along the river, most notably the poorer merchants and residents in the low lying areas of Encarnaci\u00f3n, a major city on the southern border of Paraguay. River levels rose dramatically upon completion of the dam, flooding out large sections of the city’s lower areas.<\/p>\n

From the confluence with the Paraguay River, the Paran\u00e1 again turns to the south for another approximately 820 km (510 miles) through Argentina, making a slow turn back to the east near the city of Rosario for the final stretch of less than 500 km (310 miles) before merging with the Uruguay River to form the R\u00edo de la Plata and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. During the part of its course downstream from the city of Diamante, Entre R\u00edos, it splits into several arms and forms the Paran\u00e1 Delta, a long flood plain which reaches up to 60 km in width.<\/p>\n
