Atlas of impounded waters and hydrological infrastructure
Reservoirs
This dataset provides a systematic overview of reservoirs found within Los Alerces National Park. These bodies of water, modified through human-influenced control systems, form a distinct category of features separate from the natural glacial basins that define the wider Patagonian landscape.
Rivers
A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.
