    Abstract— Floods are a recurring problem due to the advance of climate change. Santa Fe is one of the Argentinian cities most affected by these events at a social, economic and environmental level. After the great flood of 2003, Santa Fe has looked for a solution to the effects produced by heavy rain. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the strategy of implementing relief branches to provide more space for the Salado River course. To achieve this aim, this paper is organized as follows. In the first place, there is a description of the problem of flooding in surrounding areas from the Salado River. To shed light on this problem, the causes and the consequences of the floods are introduced. In the second place, the strategy of relief branches is presented. The last section aims to analyze and discuss the viability of their implementation in the city of Santa Fe. This paper is expected to contribute to the analysis of the flooding problem and to the promotion of the local implementation of foreign engineering projects that have provided sustainable solutions in other countries.
