Abstract
River and sea waters differ sharply in their chemical composition. Average concentrations of some elements in river and sea waters are given in Tables 1 and 2 for comparative purposes. Without any doubt the chemical compositions of some rivers, i.e. those rivers of different water collecting basins (Table 3) may differ from the data given in Tables 1 and 2. It should be noted that our knowledge about chemical composition of water is far from complete even for the large rivers of the world.
