argentina's geomorphic characteristics make the country highly vulnerable to floods. these floods can damage infrastructure, cause loss of life, increase the risk of diseases, and negatively impact agricultural productivity, which is one of the main economic activities of the country. many of the large argentinean cities and agriculturally productive areas lie near rivers. the plains are at highest risk for flooding, particularly in the northeastern and central parts of the country, including greater buenos aires. this is because these plains, which cover 35% of the land area in the country (including the chaco and pampean areas), are characterized by a flat landscape, which can impede proper water drainage. both the parana and paraguay basins have a flat landscape and are thus highly susceptible to flooding due to river overflows following high rainfall. these floods can last for months, particularly in the parana river, owing to its large basin. in the most extreme case, during the year 1982–1983, the floods in the parana river persisted for more than a year, negatively impacting the area both socially and economically. major flooding events in the parana river include those of 1992 and 1997 and have been more frequent since the 1980s due to higher precipitation trends. similarly, in buenos aires province, flooding occurs due to river overflows and poor water drainage; major flooding events in the province occurred in 1987, 2002/2003, 2012 and in 2014, causing damage to agriculture production. most of the flooding events occur in el niño years owing to higher rainfall. flooding can also affect patagonia and urban centers in the northwest, but the number of people affected and economic losses are lower than those in the pampas owing to lower population densities. flooding can jeopardize access to safe water. a leptospirosis outbreak occurred following a flood in 1998.
