The Neuquén River is the second most important river of the province of Neuquén in the Argentine Patagonia, after the Limay River. Regions See also Geography of Argentina The country is also divided into six or seven regions (seven when The Pampas is divided into the Pampas' plains Neuquén is a province of Argentina, located in the west of the country at the northern end of Patagonia.

The river is born at the northwest of the province at an altitude of 2,300 metres, to be feed by a number of streams through valleys of the lower Andes while advancing diagonally in southeast direction. The Andes form the world's longest exposed Mountain range. They lie as a continuous chain of highland along the western coast of South America. Among these streams, some of them from draining of small lakes, are the Trocomán, Reñi Leuvü, Agrio and Nahueve. Further down, its main tributaries are the rivers Varvarco, and Agrio, who provides almost a third of the Neuquén flow. A tributary is a Stream or River which flows into a mainstem (or parent river Along its way the river receives some sediments from volcanoes Copahue and Domuyo that might sometimes affect the clarity of the otherwise clean waters. Copahue is a Stratovolcano on the border between Argentina and Chile. The Domuyo Volcano is a Stratovolcano located in the Argentine province of Neuquén.

After meeting the Agrio, the Neuquén river has no natural lakes that could regulate its flow, which results in sharp raises of level during thawing and rainy periods. Melting is a process that results in the phase change of a substance from a Solid to a Liquid. A derivative channel towards the Pellegrini Lake in Río Negro Province has been built to compensate for abrupt changes in the flow, as well as the Cerros Colorados Complex, also used to generate hydroelectricity. The Pellegrini Lake is an artificial lake located on the Argentine Patagonia, in the province of Río Negro, near the city of Río Negro is a province of Argentina, located at the northern edge of Patagonia. The Cerros Colorados Complex is a group of Dams and Hydroelectricity generation facilities on the lower valley of the Neuquén River, in the Argentine Hydroelectricity is electricity generated by Hydropower, ie the production of power through use of the gravitational force of falling water

The average flow of the river is of 308 m³/s (measured at Paso de Indios), and its surface is around 50,774 km².

The second ( SI symbol s) sometimes abbreviated sec, is the name of a unit of Time, and is the International System of Units Square Kilometre ( US spelling square kilometer) symbol km2, is a decimal multiple of the SI unit of At its end, the Neuquén meets the Limay River near the city of Neuquén, to form the Río Negro, which continues its way east towards the Atlantic Ocean. The Limay River is an important River in the northwestern Argentine Patagonia (the region of Comahue) Negro River ( Río Negro) means black river and is the most important river of the Argentine province of Río Negro.

Although not as famous as other fishing rivers in Patagonia, the river is also visited by fly fishing and spinning enthusiasts, as well as the two artificial lakes named Los Barreales and Mari Menuco, located by the river near the border with Río Negro Province. Fly fishing is a distinct and ancient Angling method most renowned as a method for catching Trout and Salmon, but employed today for a wide variety of The main catch are trouts and Patagonian pejerrey. Trout is the common name given to a number of Species of Freshwater Fish belonging to the Salmonidae family Atheriniformes, also known as the silversides, is an order of Ray-finned fish that includes the Old World silversides and several less-familiar
