The Rio de la Plata, or Silver River, is an estuary formed by the confluence of the Parana and Uruguay Rivers. The estuary grows to 137 miles in width, making it the widest estuary in the world. It also forms part of the border between Uruguay and Argentina. Millions of tons of silt are carried through this estuary every year. The silt has to be constantly removed to allow ocean going ships to reach Buenos Aires.
