Abstract:

The study area of this work is limited to the section between Sauce Viejo and Arroyo Leyes, in the socalled Santa Fe Metropolitan Area (Argentina). The cities that integrate it are located in the flood plain of the Paraná River, therefore, in its growth processes has been substantial its relationship with various bodies of water and other formations in this geography. In the development of knowledge about the area the following question arises: How does the Metropolitan Area of Santa Fe relate to the bodies of water that surround it? For this it is essential the construction of cartographic information that enables the crossing of census, physical and legal data; and thus enable a sensitive approach to the problems that run through it. This work recognizes and lists these problems (among them, the population growth of the central cities, the absorption of that growth by neighboring cities, the modification of land uses, the scarcity of geographic information linked to the topic). At the same time, it advances on the construction of cartography from different sources consulted.
