Assessment of stream geochemistry in west central Nicaragua during baseflow conditions
Water samples were collected from streams in west-central Nicaragua at the end of the dry season as part of a study of riverine solutes in volcanic terrains. Streams in volcanic watersheds had lower mean Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations (0.29 mM Ca2+; 0.13 mM Mg2+; 0.96 mM Ca2+ and 0.51 mM Mg2+) and slightly higher Ca:Mg molar ratios (2.1) than streams in marine carbonate rocks (1.89). Dissolved Si co
