Active and abandoned fluvial landforms observed on the present day surface of the Ucamara Depression (southern part of the Maraiion BasinJ have been studied, using SLAR and Landsat Imagery, and field control. The rivers showing active meander belts (Marat%%, Ucayali and Tapiche) are drained by white (silty) water from the Andes. Watersheds are drained by black water (from organic acids) streams with underfit patterns like the Samiria and Pacaya rivers. The underfit pattern is interpreted as the abandonment of former& active large streams of white water. The position in the depression of the black water streams suggests successive shiftings of the Maranon River and Ucayali River respectively northward (50 km) and southeastward (75 km) during recent times, probably the Holocene. The geodynamical environment of the Ucamara Depression suggests a close relation between the recent tectonic activity and the successive shiftjng of the Marafion and Ucayali Rivers.
