Water flow relevance is based on its potential to be used for irrigation and as a source of energy. Depending on where the water streams drain, rivers and creeks could be classified into three different kinds of watersheds:
Open or exorheic watersheds: they have exterior drainage -
Parana River, Uruguay River, Negro River.
Closed or endorheic watersheds: they have interior drainage -
Atuel River, Diamante River, Tunuyan River.
Areic watersheds: they lack of drainage and could be found in the center-west of the chaquenean plain, on the west of the pampean region and in some patagonic areas.
