The neighborhoods adjacent to the Yuquerí Grande creek in the city of Concordia (Entre Ríos) face particular environmental problems associated with the proximity to this watercourse that have an impact on the living conditions of the population of the area. This paper shows the existing environmental problems and the initiatives destined to mitigate them. At the same time census information and cartography are used to show some social characteristics of the residents of the place. The study indicates that after many years of abandonment there are recent proposals from different social actors and from the municipal and national governments that, although they do not overcome all the environmental problems, at least they face them and try to provide solutions.
