Abstract

On the basis of analytical results of seasonal-cycle sampling, the water chemistry data of the Amazon River are presented. Based on these results, a new calculation of 62 ppm for the mean dissolved salts concentration for South American rivers is 11 per cent lower than previous calculations, and a new calculation of 117 ppm for the mean dissolved salts concentration for the rivers of the world is 2.6 per cent lower than previous calculations.
