- Abstract
- To determine the impact from volcanic fluid on river water quality, we sampled all visible water streams in the Baransky watershed. Using discharge data from Kipyaschiy Creek and the Sernaya River in conjuction with the concentration of components, we calculated the impact of volcanic fluid onto environmental waters. Total washout of components in tons per year: sulfate: 24371, chlorine: 12147, sodium: 4510, calcium: 4181, magnesium: 1773m and potassium: 628. Total washout for trace metals in kilos per year is as follows: lithium: 5969, vanadium: 1799, barium: 2758, rubidium: 4070, nickel: 3295, chromium: 921, copper: 1167, zinc: 6159.
