Notes: - Schematic map produced by CAS/SRH/MMA (UNPP/Brazil) approved by the Project Steering Committee - Project for the Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development of the Guarani Aquifer System (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay GEF/World Bank - OAS). - Colored portions represent the areas which, potentially, belong to the Guarani Aquifer System. The aquifer limits are not completely defined in Argentina and Paraguay.
