It carries more water than the Mississippi, Nile and Yangtze together; Your drainage area or basin is also the largest in the world. The volume of water taken to the Atlantic is enormous: with an annual average of 230,000 m³ / s, it reaches 300,000 m³ / s in the rainy season. In fact, the Amazon is responsible for one fifth of all freshwater incorporated into the Earth's oceans. In addition, this water is perfectly potable in the sea from the mouth to a distance from which the coast is no longer visible. The salinity of the Atlantic Ocean is noticeably lower within a radius of several thousand kilometers around this point north of its mouth: it should be remembered that in this area the marine currents bring salt water to the mouth and not vice versa.
