The Amazon River is the second longest river in the world which carries an enormous volume of water with an average discharge of 219,000 m3/sec of water. The river is prone to changes during the year, for example, during the dry season its width can be around 4 or 5 km at certain places while in the wet season it can increase to 50 km. The Amazon River has the largest drainage basin in the world (about 7,050,000 square km). According to WWF Panda, one-sixth of all fresh water that drains into the world’s oceans goes through the delta of the Amazon which is 320 km wide.
