## Abstract Most water in the ParanΓ‘ River drainage basin is supplied by the tropical Upper ParanΓ‘ (over 60% of the total annual water discharge, 550 km^3^). The total suspended solids (TSS) load (__c.__ 80 Γ 10^6^ t year^β1^), however, is essentially furnished (50β70%) by the mountainous, arid and

The present research reconstructs the histories of chemical weathering in the drainage basins of the Changjiang and Huanghe based on the chemical compositions of the river sediments. The silicate weathering of the Changjiang Basin is strong and Naand Ca-silicate minerals are considerably dissolved,
Ten large volume water samples were taken from the RhBne River (Switzerland-France) in November 1989 for recovery of total suspended sediment by continuous flow centrifugation. The samples were freeze-dried and analysed for particle size, organic carbon, total nitrogen, and carbonate. For comparativ
