Río Verde (Paraguay)

Río Verde (English: Verde River, lit. 'green river') is a Paraguayan river. It flows through the Chaco region, crossing the departments of Boquerón and Presidente Hayes, and empties into the middle course of the Paraguay River, of which it is a right-bank tributary. It has a length of 255 km (158 mi) and a drainage area of more than 24,000 km2 (9, 300 sq mi). It presents numerous meanders and levees with wetlands along its course, which hinder drainage and cause flooding. Hydraulic works had to be carried out to address this issue. It carries mostly saltwater, and its small flow increases during the rainy season.

Flows through: Paraguay.
