Q. Paraguay River, recently seen in the news, flows through which three countries?
Answer:
Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina
Notes: The Paraguay River is facing its lowest water level in over a century. It is the fifth-largest river in South America and a main tributary of the Paraná River. The river originates in Mato Grosso, Brazil, and flows through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. A key feature of its upper basin is the Pantanal, a vast seasonal swamp. The climate in the river's drainage basin is hot and humid, with dry winters and heavy summer rains. This significant drop in water level poses challenges for the regions relying on the river.
