River water and suspended sediment chemistry from Nepal (NERC grant NE/N007441/1)
Cation, anion and Sr isotope data from Nepalese river water. Suspended sediment concentration, suspended sediment chemistry presented as wt% oxides from Nepalese rivers. Both the waters and sediments were collected following the 2015 earthquakes.

Samples were collected mid-channel either from bridges or using a boat. Water samples were filtered through 0.2micron PES membranes. Cation samples were acidified to pH 2. Anion samples were unacidified. Both were stored in the dark in a fridge. HCO3- was determined by gran titration in the field. Cations were determined using an Agilent 5100 against synthetic standards. Uncertainties are 5%. Anions were determined using a dionex HPLC against synthetic standards. Sr isotopes were measured using a VG-Sector 54. For the sediments, sediment concentration was determined by weight. Elemental concentrations were determined by Agilent 5100 ICP-OES following complete digestion using Li-tetra-metaborate alkaline fusions. Uncertainties are <10%.
