The Tebicuarymí River (Spanish: Río Tebicuarymí) is a river in the Paraguarí Department of Paraguay. It is a tributary of the Tebicuary River, which itself is a tributary of the Paraguay River. The Tebicuarymí River faces challenges such as flooding during heavy rains and industrial pollution.
The Tebicuarymí River makes up the upper portion of the Tebicuary River drainage basin, running from its source in the Ybytyruzú Mountains to its intersection with the Tebicuary at Villa Florida.[1] The upper drainage basin has a surface area of 720,600 hectares and its human population is around 170,000, including many small farmers and some larger landowners.[1]
