  "Mapping and underwater quality diagnosis in Luján" (1998)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In the case of the Puelche aquifer, 7% of the samples revealed bacteria contamination and, in a similar percentage, the presence of heavy metals was detected despite the fact that, in all cases, this was within accepted values.
In the Puelche aquifer the high-quality values were also found toward the south of the district while those of lower quality were detected in the northern urban sector, and a intermediate quality was detected in the eastern zone.
The quality of water extracted from the Puelche aquifer is worse in the northern and eastern zones of the district and in some areas of the urban sector and this is probably due to a higher extraction for household and industrial consumption.

Below the Puelche, there is the Hipopuelche, with high salinity, for which is only used for recreational purposes in most cases and for industrial use in the most stressed areas (BlackandVeatch Int.
This value was used to calculate annual water consumption per municipality from the population not connected to the water company, and was subtracted to the renewable water to obtain the corresponding deficit.
The perception that water is free has caused overexploitation and pollution of the Puelche aquifer, in a context of population growth, migration, increased industrialization and urbanization.

 Evaluation of the origin of groundwater nitrate using isotope techniques Argentina
The Postpampeano is the most recent formation (Upper Pleistocene and Holocene) and consists of clays, silt and sand of marine, fluvial and lacustrine origin, with thickness of few centimeters in the high part of the study area to about 25 meter close to the River La Plata (Figure 2).
The Puelche aquifer is used to supply water to the city of Buenos Aires (10 millions people), to the city of La Plata and for irrigation and industrial purposes.
A representative well (Puelche aquifer) of the live stock area and located in the outskirt of the Bavio City show a nitrate concentration of 13 mg/L. Therefore, the input of nitrate from animal waste at a regional scale from the live stock areas should be minimal.

 Journal of Shellfisheries Research: Brooding pattern and larval production in wild stocks of the puelche oyster, Ostrea ...
ABSTRACT Brooding pattern and fertility of the puelche oyster (Ostrea puelchana) were investigated in a native population from the San Matias Gulf (40[degrees]48'S; 65[degrees]05'W, Northern Patagonia, Argentina).
The puelche oyster, Ostrea puelchana, is a commercially valuable flat oyster species native to temperate waters of the San Matias Gulf (Northern Patagonia, Argentina).
As is the case with other flat oyster species (Perez Camacho 1987), hatchery seed production of the Puelche oyster has been constrained by the relatively low amount of larvae released by each individual oyster (fertility).

 MISIONEROS CLARETIANOS - WEB OFICIAL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The first project thus carried out was a suburban journal: "Puelche", the aboriginal name for the wind that customarily blew down out of the Andes, “one that is cold and unpleasant, but that cleanses the environment”.
This was clearly an allegory for the journal that, under the pretext of reporting on the life of the local citizenry, was looking to form critical readers to confront the great problems and challenges of Chilean society.
When it finally became impossible to maintain the journal, the cohesiveness and mystique of its producers remained intact, transformed already into a real base community with a strong sense of evangelization, that in the summer did missionary work in the socially needy areas of the country.

The horse was crucial for mobility, trade and warfare for the Puelche of South America’s pampas (grasslands), few large animals roamed the pampas before the 1500’s, so horses provided the Puelche with a new source of meat and hides.
From horse skins, the Puelche made portable lodges (toldos) and clothing such as boots and cloaks.
Puelche women mounted their horses using a strap that hung from the animal’s neck—a device unique to Indians of the pampas.

New French diplomats had made some headway in the north in Mataco and Lille in 1631 before those regions were traded away to the True Incans in 1633 (T153).
That deal had the True Incans abandon Atuel, Puelche and Charrua in southern New France, and Uyuni on the Andean border, in exchange for New French ignorance of the True Incan army as it crashed its way west from Heta to Mataco.
Atuel and Montpelier, which had rebuffed New French diplomats in 1631, and then a New French army in 1633, was successfully brought into the fold (along with Montpelier)in 1639 (both ea).

Having failed several times to establish a permanent settlement on the site of Buenos Aires, the Spaniards settled Asunción in 1537 where the agrarian Huarpe and Guarani Indians were more friendly than the hostile Puelche of the coast.
