		River dolphins live in ancient and major waterways that gave that species plenty of time and opportunity to evolve within their limited areas almost making it imperative to learn the history of a river system in order to study the species.
		The last of the species of river dolphins, the La Plata river dolphin is not a "true river dolphin", but is related so closely to and similar in appearance to the river dolphins that they are placed in the river dolphin family (May, 1990).
		The epthalmic rete is responsible for stabilizing the temperature of the retina and optic nerve in deep-diving mammals.

	Proceedings of the second international symposium on the management of large rivers for fisheries: Volume I
		Therefore, we suggest that historic trends in La Plata River Basin development are an adequate framework for a study of the impact of development on water resources and biological communities and to analyse adequate measures to protect riverine fisheries from development activities (Quiros 1990).
		The Paraguay River extends 2 670 km southwards from its sources in the western hills of the Brazilian Shield at 300 m of altitude to its confluence with the Parana River.
		The fisheries period 1945-1982 for the lower Plata Basin was analyzed with emphasis on dynamic relationships between fish catch and hydrology for the lower basin (Quiros and Cuch 1989) and on fishery development activities in the river basin (Quiros 1990, 1993).

		Harnessing the energy potential of the La Plata basin is credited with bringing the states of the region together, usually bilaterally for the purpose of particular hydropower projects, but it has also created conflicts and serious environmental and social problems which must also be resolved through cooperation.
		The La Plata Basin is the fifth largest in the world and covers approximately 17% of the total continental surface of South America, including the south of Brazil, southeast Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay and the northeast of Argentina.
		The main rivers, the catchments of which form the basin, are the Parana, Tieté, Iguazu, Uruguay, Paraguay, Pilcomayo, Bermejo and Río de la Plata.

	An airborne salinity survey of the La Plata river plume (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The goals of the Project are to characterize the along-shelf seasonal variation of the low-salinity plume associated with the Río de la Plata and Patos-Mirim and to determine the relative importance of the main forcing factors on the distribution of the low salinity waters derived from the Plata and Patos Lagoon.
		The purpose of the fieldwork was to characterize the low salinity plumes of the Rio de la Plata and Patos Lagoon by observing sea surface and sub-surface temperature and salinity patterns.
		During the summer-time surveys, the La Plata plume was found to be more closely confined to the Rio de la Plata estuary (Figure 9) and the Patos Lagoon outflow plume was not observed.

		The La Plata River Compact is also between the states of Colorado and New Mexico for the equitable distribution of the waters of the La Plata River.
		The La Plata River is a tributary of the San Juan River originating in southwestern Colorado.
		To these ends the Colorado river basin is divided into two basins (the upper and lower basins), and an apportionment of the use of part of the water of the Colorado river system is made to each of them with the provision that further equitable apportionments may be made.

	La Plata River standards raised
		The highest possible water-quality standard was set for the headwaters of the La Plata River by a state commission working to balance interests of environmental groups and the Southwestern Water Conservation District.
		From the source of the La Plata River to the Hay Gulch irrigation ditch diversion, the commission imposed the toughest standard because people may swallow the water while participating in recreational activities.
		State Sen. Jim Isgar, who is the president of the La Plata Water Conservancy District, said irrigators are concerned that tougher standards may mean water would have to be switched from fields to the river to dilute pollutants so the standards could be met.

		The Animas-La Plata project was first authorized by the Colorado River Basin Project Act of 1968 as a participating project under the Colorado River Storage Act of 1956.
		The proposed Animas River dam, in Montezuma County of southwest Colorado and San Juan county of New Mexico, would consist of three dams, two reservoirs (Ridges Basin Reservoir and the Southern Ute Reservoir), 240 miles of pipelines and canals, seven water pumping stations, and 34 miles of electric transmission lines.
		Animas-La Plata would also pump water year-round from the Animas River up 1,000 vertical feet into the La Plata River drainage to irrigate farms at an average elevation of 6,800 feet to grow surplus crops.

		Analyses of bed-sediment samples from the Animas River show that there are elevated zinc (28,500 ppm) and cadmium (498 ppm) concentrations at the cut bank site that reflect erosion of slag material from the cut bank, but both upstream and downstream, the metal concentrations were not elevated (U.S. EPA, 1996d).
