River or surface water

River draining the Tethyan series and then the High Himalayan Crystalline, with an evaporite signature about 22 times weaker than the Kali Gandaki (Rose et al., 2000). Without published coordinates.

7 ± 4.6 ‰1.1 / 11.8 ‰6main-stream water (dissolved boron)
Mean and standard deviation recalculated from 6 analyses, +1.1 to +11.8 (LO256 +11.0; TRI 15/7 +1.1; TRI 15/8 +7.5; TRI 1/12 +1.7; LO316 +11.8; LO304 +8.7). Elevation, dissolved B and 1σ uncertainty: LO256: 1430 m, 1.39 µmol/l, ± 0.9 ‰; TRI 15/7: 700 m, 0.37 µmol/l, ± 0.9 ‰; TRI 15/8: 700 m, 0.28 µmol/l, ± 1.5 ‰; TRI 1/12: 700 m, 2.22 µmol/l, ± 1.4 ‰; LO316: 465 m, 0.93 µmol/l, ± 2.2 ‰; LO304: 320 m, 1.30 µmol/l, ± 0.8 ‰. The three samples at 700 m bracket the monsoon: from +1.7 ‰ (TRI 1/12) to +7.5 ‰ (TRI 15/8) for 2 µmol/l less B.

26.7 ‰1Chake tributary water (dissolved boron)
Single analysis (KN95). Elevation, dissolved B and 1σ uncertainty: KN95: 935 m, 0.28 µmol/l, ± 1.0 ‰. Drains only the High Himalayan Crystalline, silica-rich: silicate end-member of the mixing model (+36.9 ‰ after rain correction).
