Rain and floodwater were sampled by self-sealing samplers scattered over the area of two drainage basins in the Negev Desert of Israel. The sampling was carried out during the winters of 1978–1981. Water was analyzed for the following ions: Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO−3, Cl−and SO2−4. The chemical type of the rain and floodwater as well as the total quantities of salts precipitated and drained out from the basins were investigated. The chemical characteristics of the rainwater falling in the Negev resemble those of rainwater in northern Israel, but the absolute quantities of ions are smaller. The total quantities of salts introduced into the basin were found to be larger than the quantities of salts drained out by the floods. The chemical composition of the floodwater was found to be governed by the lithology of the drainage basin and not by the initial chemical characteristics of the rain from which it was derived.
