Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, share the Paraná, Paraguay and Uruguay rivers and the groundwater of the Guarani/Serra Geral Integrated Aquifer System (SAIG/SG), that compose the Basin Plata. The uses of those waters include different power levels especially by the agribusiness, which established agricultural frontiers configuring new territories. Taking the concepts of territory and scale as intellectual and methodological tools, this paper uses bibliographical and documental research, explaining the results of the disputes through the appropriation processes of the water as resource, highlighting that the mercantilist logic makes changes in the local landscape, building conflicts in the social organization of the territory.
