[edit] Color and usefulness

I've just reverted a well-meaning but not well-integrated addition by Sbeck:

The Paraná is rather clear in color, and serves many purposes, from providing fresh water to countless Argentines, as well as food, with catfish exceeding several feet in length. One of the more beautiful views of the river can be seen in the city of Port Iguazu in Argentina at a place called three fronteers.

The last sentence, of course, is subjective POV, and touches only tangentially on the main topic of the article; it doesn't belong in the "Uses" section. I'm sure the Triple Frontera must be covered somewhere else. The first sentence is wrong: the Paraná is not "rather clear", but definitely brown, at least by the time it reaches Rosario. It's not that polluted but carries a lot of suspended sediment. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 10:39, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
