The Amazon River is one of the world’s great rivers, and it is also the largest by volume. It is so large that it carries more water than any other river on Earth. In fact, it carries about twice as much water as the next largest river, the Congo.<\/p>\n

The Amazon River can hold up to about 193 million cubic kilometers of water.<\/p>\n

Does the Amazon river ever dry up? <\/h2>\n

The droughts in the region have gradually worsened over the past five years. The dry season usually runs from July to December, but the river level has been going down during this time. This has made it difficult for boats to travel.<\/p>\n

The Amazon River’s water is not safe for humans to drink, as it is far too muddy and has too many biological components; a person who drank this water would likely get sick. The water is also home to a variety of dangerous animals, so it’s best to avoid drinking it.<\/p>\n
