species of them, occupying 3.5 billion hectares worldwide, including 250 million ha of commercial
plantations. While forests can provide tremendous environmental, social, and economic benefits to
nations, they also affect the hydrologic cycle in different ways. As the demand for water grows and
local precipitation patterns change due to global warming, plantation forestry has encountered an
increasing number of water-related conflicts worldwide.
This document provides a country-by-country summary of the current state of knowledge on the
relationship between forest management and water resources. Based on available research
publications, the Editor-in-Chief of this document contacted local scientists from countries where
the impact of forest management on water resources is an issue, inviting them to submit a chapter.
In this vast region, different environments of forests, shrubs and grass steppes, high deserts, wetlands, which have been subjected to different productive uses according to the different stages of colonization that the country underwent, are distinguished. Native forests in Argentina can be grouped into six forest regions
1) Chaco Forest: quebracho colorado santiagueño (Schinopsis lorentzii), quebracho blanco, algarrobo, vinal, itín, mistol, lapacho, palo blanco and palo lanza, yuchán, brea, duraznillo, palo santo, chañar, molle, urunday, guayacán, viraró, espina corona, palo piedra, palo amarillo (or ibirá-catú), tala, palmares.
2) Misiones Rainforest: Lapachos; laureles, guatambú blanco, palo rosa, cedro misionero, peteribí, yerba mate, marmelero, canafístola, timbó, guayubirá, urunday, cancharana, incienso, grapia, maría preta, rabo itá, rabo molle, azota caballo, aguaí, camboatá, carne de vaca, persiguero, el pino paraná (or araucaria), numerous mirtáceas, several bambúseas, as tacuarembó and tacuaruzú, palms as pindó.
3) Tucumán-Bolivian Rainforests (“Yungas”): tipuana tipu; the cebiles; pacará (called timbó in other regions); tarco (or rosewood); pink lapacho; biscote; picconia excelsa/palo blanco; terminalia australis/palo amarillo; White launches; (Guayaibí in other regions); laurels; horcomolle; (Or muddy stick); myrtle; cedars; Creole walnut; machine; cebiles; It pacará; Pine Hill; walnut.
4) Andean Patagonian Forest: populated mostly by conifers, Fagaceae, Myrtaceae and several species of Nothofagus such as pehuén; lipain, maitén, ñire, tepa, tepú, cypress Guaitecas, coihue, Coyan, lleuques, raulí, radal, lenga, Temu, the quetri or "myrtle" or the giant "patagonian larch" (lahuán) and huililahuán, copihue, notro and various evergreen shrubs such as cinnamon, blackberry, elderberry, strawberry, sarsaparilla etc.
5) Monte Shrublands: predominantly of jarillas (genus Larrea), pitch, pichana, retamo, tintitaco, and others that are typical jarillal.
6) Espinal Xeric Forest: "ñandubay" (Prosopis affinis), Prosopis alba and P. Nigra (black locust and black locust), Tala (Celtis tala), deciduous dry forests, shrubs and grass steppes; "Caldén" (Prosopis caldenia).
Today, a high percentage of these lands have significant levels of degradation and deterioration of their physical and chemical properties, generating negative environmental impacts besides agricultural
activity itself.
In the early 20th century, natural forests covered a third of the Argentine territory: they were over one hundred million hectares (the areas of France and Spain together). Since then, the loss of native forest
has been a constant process with pulses associated with favorable moments for agricultural expansion due to prices of agricultural products, technological changes or sociopolitical context (example of this were the years of the First World War, when Argentina was the leading producer of tannin extract).
In 1980, a period of deforestation began, helped by demand for primary products of native forests with the modernization of livestock management, increased agricultural area, and consequently the expansion of the railway system, which in summary generated a significant reduction in forest area.
El sistema fluvial del río Tercero (Ctalamochita) es uno de los principales cursos de agua que pertenece de la red hidrográfica del río Carcarañá en la Provincia de Córdoba que a su vez es uno de los principales afluentes del río Paraná en la Provincia de Santa Fe. La cuenca del río Tercero está regulada por una red de embalses que abastece a las poblaciones aledañas con agua potable, con una importante generación hidroeléctrica (Complejo Río Grande y Sistema Río Tercero) y que presenta una importante zona turística en la Provincia de Córdoba.
La morfología que se encuentra en el río Tercero en su paso por la cuenca baja hace que las características de flujo sean de tipo meandriforme, teniendo un complejo comportamiento que justifica su estudio con diferentes herramientas numéricas y experimentales. Es así que, por el comportamiento hidrológico e hidráulico que presenta este cauce natural, es de vital importancia para la prevención de riesgos por inundaciones, su caracterización en las zonas vulnerables; con esto se busca la correcta regulación de caudales en los embalses de la cuenca alta. Es así que, se cuenta con datos de campo de las principales variables para la calibración y validación de los modelos numéricos implementados.
