In the Paraguay River portion of the Pantanal, water levels rise between two meters to five meters seasonally; water fluctuations in other parts of the Pantanal are less than this. [3] Flood waters tend to flow slowly (2 to 10 cm (0.79 to 3.94 in) per second [ 3 ] ) due to the low gradients and high resistance offered by the dense vegetation.

Some of them, the major tributaries of Paraguay and Parana, enabled navigation on a small scale, and smaller boats with limited use in times of drought due to decreasing flow of water flows.
