Abstract
A few of Tasmania's several thousand lakes and rivers have been sampled in a preliminary survey of water chemistry. They range in concentration from extremely dilute glacial lakes (TDS < 10 ppm) to hypersaline lagoons (TDS > 85%), the majority being dilute (TDS < 50 ppm). The 3 mechanisms controlling water chemistry proposed by GIBBS (1970) are seen to operate and the 3 terminal water types showing precipitationβdominance, rockβdominance and solubilityβlimited composition are found, together with a range of intermediates. The majority of waters have seawater ionic composition or moderate geochemical modification of this.
