Though referred to as a Stream (following the common translation of the Spanish name ''Arroyo Saladillo''), the Saladillo is in fact a River , with a Catchment Basin that encompasses 3,205 Km&2 and services an important area of the south of the province of Santa Fe — both economically for Agriculture , and demographically, since its last few kilometres are inside a densely populated area (Rosario has about 1 million inhabitants). The port of Villa Gobernador Gálvez is located on the mouth of the Saladillo. Most of the watercourse is Canal ized, as well as its affluents, and it needs periodic Dredging to support its massive use for agriculture, which in turn pollutes the water with chemical agents such as Pesticide s and Fertilizer s, and tends to fill the course with Sediment s produced by Erosion . The marginal zones around the course are Flood able. The lower course, which traverses populated areas, is also polluted by industrial and domestic waste. REFERENCE
