The Snake River discharges 47,680 cfs of water into the Columbia on average each year. The total dissolved solids, a nonreacting substance, in Snake River averages approximately 200 mg/L. Just downstream of the discharge from the Snake River, the average flow rate of the combined rivers is 169,800 cfs. The total dissolved solids, a non-reacting substance, in the combined rivers averages 80 mg/L.
