The Silala Spring rises in Bolivia and flows artificially into Chile. A canal, constructed under a Bolivian concession, carries the water into Chile.
The division of the flow from this river has been a matter of controversy between the two nations, Chile claiming that the present route makes it an international river. [1] [2] [3] [4]
