Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic, is a country located mostly in the southern half of South America. Sharing the bulk of the Southern Cone with Chile to the west, the country is also bordered by Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil to the northeast, Uruguay and the South Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Drake Passage to the south. With a mainland area of 2,780,400 km2 (1,073,500 sq mi), Argentina is the eighth-largest country in the world, the fourth largest in the Americas, and the largest Spanish-speaking nation. The sovereign state is subdivided into twenty-three provinces and one autonomous city, Buenos Aires, which is the federal capital of the nation as decided by Congress. The provinces and the capital have their own constitutions, but exist under a federal system. Argentina claims sovereignty over part of Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
The general relief is very gently undulating due to the lower basin of the Ludueña Stream, which drains into the Paraná River. The drainage network is organized in most of the area but with slightly weathered channels and no signs of significant erosion. There are shallow, extensive and salinized depressions on the western bank.
The Ludueña Stream is a small river in the province of Santa Fe, Argentina, which starts near the city of Rosario and flows through it, mostly east-southwards, ending in the Paraná River in the neighbourhood commonly known as Arroyito, near Rosario Central's football stadium.
The Paraná River is a river in south Central South America, running through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina for some 4,880 kilometres (3,030 mi). It is second in length only to the Amazon River among South American rivers. The name Paraná is an abbreviation of the phrase "para rehe onáva", which comes from the Tupi language and means "like the sea". It merges first with the Paraguay River and then farther downstream with the Uruguay River to form the Río de la Plata and empties into the Atlantic Ocean.
The average annual temperature is 17.1 °C with average annual rainfall of about 1,100 mm, 70% of which is concentrated between October and March (hot season).
The zonal soils are typical Argiudolls (in the fine loamy family) which is fine to moderately well drained. The topsoil is silt-loam in texture, with very low sand content. It has well-defined, thick argillic horizons, hindering the penetration of roots and the distribution and use of water. Natural fertility is moderate. Some of these soils were previously classified as vertic Argiudolls but there is no evidence of the cracking required by the taxonomic system for the vertic subgroup.
Depression areas contain mainly poorly drained sodic and sometimes saline soils.
