tributary

Tributary It is a word that derives from the Latin word affluens and that allows to describe a thing that flows. In this regard, it must be said that the verb flow It is used to mention what is presented abundantly or in great amount in a certain place and everything that is directed towards a single point.

The concept of tributary is common in the hydrology in reference to the body of Water whose mouth does not occur in the sea, but does it in a River higher or more important. The tributary or tax joins the effluent in the site or area known as confluence.

The usual thing is that the difference between tributary and effluent is established by the importance of each river according to its length, flow or surface of basin. In this way, the river considered the most outstanding is the effluent, and the one that contributes the waters to the other river constitutes the tributary.

Take the case of Amazon River what with 6,800 kilometers, is the longest and most mighty in the world. Its river system counts more than 1,000 tributaries, with about 25 rivers that have more than 1,000 kilometers in length. The Amazon born from the confluence of rivers Cashew Y Ucayali, in the north of Peru.

The Nile river It used to be mentioned as the longest in the world until recent studies left that privilege to the Amazon. The NileIn any case, it continues to be one of the most relevant rivers for the hydrography, with multiple tributaries such as the White Nile or the Blue Nile.

The notion of tributary can also be used in figurative sense. For example: “Socialism and anarcho-syndicalism were the main tributaries of this movement that emerged in the zones most humble of North American cities ", "The migratory influx does not stop despite the efforts of the authorities to close the borders".

The crisis and the migratory influx

In the concept migratory tributary, the term in question reveals a great flow of people, potentially coming from different nations, entering a country at a certain point in history. The last two decades have seen a great increase in this phenomenon, the main objective being the European continent. The countries most chosen in the search for Improve Life Quality and escape from inevitable poverty are England, Italy and Spain.

The reason for these choices is rooted in a question linguistics. On the one hand, there are Latin American emigrants, who tend to go to Spain to avoid learning a idiom Foreign; However, many are unaware of the infinity of differences that exist in the use of Spanish, although they by no means represent an impossible challenge to overcome. Italy is another of their favorite destinations, since they rely on the false idea that both languages ​​are practically identical, but also because many of these citizens have Italian descent and can get the relevant passport, which considerably minimizes the inconvenience and the amount of paperwork to be carried out.

Finally, there is England, which has the language considered universal, and which is relatively easy to enter, as long as you have a European passport. Many of the people who travel to this country to save themselves from homelessness do so because the United States is a much more difficult goal to achieve, given the difficulty of obtaining a visa. With respect to other countries, such as Sweden, its affluent migratory It is not negligible at all, but it does present diverse characteristics; the change in life that goes from a warm climate to an almost eternal winter is very violent, and if the urgent need to learn a language is added, the decision becomes very delicate.
