The dissolved chemical and isotopic signature downflow the confluence of two large rivers: The case of the Parana and Paraguay rivers

•A transverse chemical and isotopic asymmetry is observed in the Middle Paraná River.•The asymmetry is due to the incomplete mixing of the Upper Paraná and Paraguay rivers.•Groundwater inputs represent between 0.5% and 6% of the total river discharge. The Paraná River basin is one of the largest hyd...
