  abstract = {{T}his study focuses on the confluence of two major rivers of the world, the {S}olimoes {R}iver (white waters) and {N}egro {R}iver (black waters). {S}urface suspended sediment samples ({SSC}) and spectroradiometer taken along transverse profiles at 500 m intervals over a distance of 10 km, as well as satellite images ({MODIS}) during the hydrological year, were used to follow suspended sediment variability. {I}n {J}anuary and {F}ebruary, the confluence is dominated by white waters from the {S}olimoes {R}iver in the two banks, and in {J}une and {J}uly in the right bank by black waters from the {N}egro {R}iver and in the left bank by clear waters from the {S}olimoes {R}iver. {W}e found that indirect tools, such as reflectance obtained by spectrometer or {MODIS} images, can be used to determine surface suspended sediments in a contrasting zone.},
