Abstract

The different water colors of Amazonian rivers are documented in the river names e.g., Rio Negro (black river), Rio Branco (white river), Rio Claro (clear river), Rio Verde (green river), and indicate differences in water quality. Sioli (1950) related water color to specific conditions in the catchment areas and recognized three main water types based on water color, load of suspended solids, pH, and load of dissolved minerals, indicated by the specific conductance.
