What is the water source of the Andes?
The primary water source of the Andes Mountains is precipitation, particularly in the form of snow and rain. This moisture is influenced by the region's climate, with the eastern slopes receiving more rainfall due to the orographic effect. Glaciers in the high Andes also contribute to the water supply, melting during warmer months and feeding rivers and streams. Additionally, many rivers originating in the Andes provide essential water resources for surrounding communities and ecosystems.

As the length of the Andes is in excess of 7000km long, they contain the sources of literally hundreds of rivers. Many of these flow to the Pacific in the West, but many of those rivers that flow to the East eventually flow into the Amazon. The most distant source of the Amazon from its outflow into the sea is a glacial stream on Nevado Mismi (18,363 ft high) in the Peruvian Andes. This progresses into the Ucayali which joins the Marañón and eventually the Amazon itself.
