This expansion was due to an increase in the international demand for commodities, which drove the so-called "pampeanization" of northeastern Argentina. This phenomenon brought about two intertwined processes: the construction of a waterway on the Paraná River that allows the circulation and export of agricultural production from the main ports, and the expansion of monocultures on native forests and wetlands. The triad: agribusiness, waterway and deforestation, constitute the most important dimensions of analysis in this research, which from a systemic and complex viewpoint seeks to put into context the water crisis that the region is going through in general and the extreme low water level of the Paraná River in particular, in order to unravel its main causes. En las últimas tres décadas se dio un proceso de expansión persistente del agronegocio y los monocultivos sobre la cuenca del río Paraná. Dicha expansión obedeció a un aumento de la demanda internacional de commodities lo que impulsó la denominada pampeanización del noreste argentino. Este fenómeno trajo aparejados dos procesos entrelazados: la construcción de una hidrovía sobre el río Paraná que permite la circulación y exportación de la producción agraria desde los principales puertos, y la expansión de los monocultivos sobre bosques nativos y humedales. La triada: agronegocios, deforestación e hidrovía, constituyen las dimensiones más importantes de análisis en esta investigación, que desde una mirada sistémica y compleja busca poner en contexto la crisis hídrica que atraviesa la región en general, y la bajante extrema del río Paraná en particular, para desentramar sus principales causas.
