The sudestadas: A hydro-meteorological phenomenon that affects river pollution (River Luján, South America)

The "sudestadas" are short-term hydro-meteorological phenomena that produce a "hydraulic plug", preventing the normal drainage of the water courses in the Río de la Plata Estuary. The purpose of this study was to analyse the influence of the sudestadas on the water quality of the...
