1 Laurence Maurice Bourgoin Jean-Michel Martinez Pascal Kosuth Julien Grelaud (IRD, Institut de Recherche pour le Développement) and Eurides de Oliveira (ANA, Agencia Nacional de Aguas) Research agreement / Surface Hydrology and Water Chemistry Role of floodplains in suspended sediment transfer and storage along the Amazon River Case study : the Varzea of Lago Grande de Curuai

2 Objectives Study of the Hydrological H and Suspended Sediment dynamics between the Amazon River and a floodplain lakes system Estimating the sediment deposition rate in an Amazonian floodplain Case study : the Várzea of Lago Grande de Curuai

3 3 rd LBA Scientific Meeting Floodplain surface area estimation for the whole Amazon basin: 61, km² (±67,) ~ 1% total drainage area (Martinez et al., in press) 6 km

4 Case study in the Middle Amazon floodplain : várzea do Lago Grande de Curuai Amazon R. Curuai floodplain 6 km Madeira R. 3 rd LBA Scientific Meeting

27 Conclusions 3 rd LBA Scientific Meeting Floodplain lake levels are very close (tens of centimeters) to river water levels The output of water from the floodplain lakes to the main channel begins at the flood peak Water and sediment outflow max. are observed during the low water stage Main sedimentation occurs in the western part of the varzea, generating a widening land strip Sediment storage and Hg associated with fine particles appears to be more important in the upstream foreland basins than along the mid-amazon floodplains
