The principal outputs of this proposed project will include the formulation of a detailed Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis TDA and SAP, including a comprehensive structured program of actions to address local adaptation needs, while simultaneously generating global environment benefits and strengthening the institutional and legal framework and technical capacity necessary for the long-term implementation of the SAP, taking into account the implementation plans and financing strategies agreed by the Basin countries.
This project will thus ensure strengthened management of shared water resources through the development of predictive and decision support tools for climate induced alterations. A large wetland corridor links the Pantanal, located at the headwaters of the Paraguay River, with the Delta del Parana, at its outlet to the La Plata River. This system of interconnected wetlands is essential to the existence of high biological diversity and productivity, foremost characteristic of the La Plata Basin.
The availability of large volumes of groundwater demands an integrated approach to the management of surface and groundwater in the Basin, while specific measures and management strategies are required for the management of groundwater aquifer systems.
A published review by the World Resources Institute defines the La Plata River system as one of the most important river basins in the world. The system includes a great number, variety, and degree of endemism in fish species, which are located in the Paraguay River sub-basin, and the highest numbers of native birds, which are located the Parana River sub-basin.
The Argentine, Brazilian and Uruguayan economies, with a strong agriculture and cattle component, include a significant level of industrial and service production, while Paraguay maintains an agriculture based economy. From ports to industrial poles or recreation, the cities impact on the delta with different intensity. At a metropolitan level, four urban agglomerations are distinguished along and near the casts of the delta: Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area —the largest conurbation of the country, with a population of around 13 million inhabitants, including the capital of Argentina, the city of Buenos Aies; Gran Rosario Metropolitan Area — the third largest urbanized area in the country, located in the Province of Santa Fe with more than 1.

The regional importance of the delta is related to its strategic location, along the most important economic corridor of the country, which is also part of the commercial route connecting Santiago de Chile Chile and Sao Paulo Brazil under the Mercosur economic agreement.
The port system that is located along the delta is the most important fluvial network of the country and has always been deeply connected with the terrestrial mobility network of railways and highways.
