The Paraná and Paraguay Rivers
The place where the darkly colored Paraná River flows into the lighter Paraguay River is shown in this satellite image. Large quantities of silt and other suspended matter give the Paraguay its milky color. After flowing through the country of Paraguay, the Paraguay River meets the Paraná at the border of Argentina.
