From La Nouvelle Géographie universelle, la terre et les hommes, 19 vol. (1875-94) (edition in English: The Earth and Its Inhabitants, 1878-94), great work of Elisee Reclus. Pilcomayo River Spanish Río Pilcomayo chief western tributary of the Paraguay River, south-central South America. It rises in the eastern Andes Mountains in Bolivia and flows in a southeasterly direction through the Gran Chaco plains of Paraguay to join the Paraguay River opposite Asunción, after a course of 1,550 miles (2,500 km). Its lower course (about 410 miles), used for navigation by small craft, flows through a number of small channels separated by bars and shifts direction with each flood season. The Pilcomayo (probably Quechua: “River of the Birds”) forms part of the international border (delimited in 1945) between Formosa province (Argentina) and Paraguay. By the end of the 20th century, the river had become extremely polluted from mining industry waste.
