| | DofA 2001: (Yacyret� Dam) Paran� River, Argentina/Paraguay |
 | | March 14th, the International Day of Action against Dams and for Rivers, Water, and Life was established in Curitiba, Brazil in 1997 at the end of the First International Meeting of Populations Affected by Large Dams. |
 | | Corpus Christi dam, with a projected cost of four billion dollars, is a binational project planned for the Paran� River, between the province of Misiones, Argentina, and Itap�a, Paraguay, to generate 3,000 MW of electricity. |
 | | It should be mentioned that the UN and the WHO recommend that dams not be built in tropical and subtropical zones, as is the case of Misiones. |
