The chemistry of sulphur oxides is complex both in the atmosphere and in river systems. However the effect on the overall chemistry is simple in that it reduces the pH of the water making it more acidic. The pH change is most marked in rivers with very low concentrations of dissolved salts as these cannot buffer the effects of the acid input ...
The Essequibo River (Spanish: Río Esequibo; originally called by Alonso de Ojeda; Río Dulce) [7] [8] is the largest river in Guyana, and the largest river between the Orinoco and Amazon. Rising in the Acarai Mountains near the Brazil–Guyana border , the Essequibo flows to the north for 1,014 km (630 mi) through forest and savanna into the ...
The Cuyuni River is a South American river and a tributary of the Essequibo River.It rises in the Guiana Highlands of Venezuela, where it descends northward to El Dorado, and turns eastward to meander through the tropical rain forests of the Cuyuni-Mazaruni Region of Guyana.
Water chemistry analysis is often the groundwork of studies of water quality, pollution, hydrology and geothermal waters. Analytical methods routinely used can detect and measure all the natural elements and their inorganic compounds and a very wide range of organic chemical species using methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry .

The water level of the Kassikaityu falls to its lowest annual levels between the end of the minor rainy period in January and the beginning of the main rainy season at the end of March. [2] Water levels vary from a minimum 225.62 m (740.2 ft) to maximum 235.23 m (771.8 ft) (average 228.36 m [749.2 ft]) [ 3 ] During dry seasons the low water ...
Map of the Essequibo drainage basin with the Mazaruni just above center. The Mazaruni River is a tributary of the Essequibo River in northern Guyana.Its source is in the remote western forests of the Pakaraima Mountains and its confluence with the Cuyuni River is near Bartica.
Isotope hydrology applications are highly diverse, and used for informing water-use policy, mapping aquifers, conserving water supplies, assessing sources of water pollution, investigating surface-groundwater interaction, refining groundwater flow models, and increasingly are used in eco-hydrology to study human impacts on all dimensions of the ...
