Artificial lakes management in the estuarine plain of the Río de la Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Several urban undertakings have been developed in the southern coast of the Río de la Plata estuary, northern Buenos Aires, during the last three decades. Many of the urban projects used to dredge land material to generate an artificial lake and deposited the sediments on the adjacent lands, to obta...
