What Direccion Ejecutiva C.T.N. Río Pilcomayo (Convenio UE No ASR/B/-3100/99/136 does

The Dirección Ejecutiva of the Comisión Trinacional para el Desarrollo de la Cuenca del Río Pilcomayo (CTN) is the operational arm of a trinational intergovernmental commission established in 1988 by Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay to coordinate integrated management of the Pilcomayo River Basin. The basin covers approximately 290,000 km² across the three member states and forms part of the larger Plata Basin system. The Executive Directorate operates from Asunción, Paraguay, with a small staff of approximately 14 employees, providing technical coordination, monitoring services, and policy support to the three national delegations.

The organization's core technology platform is a hydro-meteorological monitoring and data management system anchored by 30+ hydrometric stations (including eight key automated stations such as Misión La Paz, Villa Montes, Puente Aruma, Talula, Tarapaya, Palca Grande, San Josecito, and General Diaz) and more than 116 historical pluviometric stations primarily in the Bolivian territory, with data series extending back to the 1950s and 1970s. These feed a web-based platform (pilcomayo.net) that publishes real-time hydrometric readings, water and sediment quality campaign reports, climate perspectives, technical publications, and an interactive GIS map integrated with Google Maps. Data is sourced through institutional agreements with national agencies — SENAMHI (Bolivia), SMN and SSRH/EVARSA (Argentina), and DINAC (Paraguay) — and disseminated to registered users including researchers, institutions, and basin communities.

As an intergovernmental public-good entity, the CTN does not generate commercial revenue. Funding is sourced from member-country contributions and international cooperation, principally the European Union under Agreement No ASR/B/-3100/99/136, which financed the 2000–2008 development of the Master Plan (published 2008 with a 2025 horizon). Services are provided free of charge to the three member governments, scientific institutions, and rural communities in the basin (e.g., beekeeping training in Boquerón, Paraguay, in May 2026). Supporting programs include the Environmental Baseline study (Línea Base Ambiental), Annual Operational Plans (2023–2026), and public tendering for basin interventions.
