Water,
nutrient and Salt transport through the lower Meghna River-estuary, a combined

fluxes covering an area of about 532 km2 were calculated. Present
study consists a single layer simple box model to study the budget of the
materials in the lower reaches of the river estuary. Hatiya Channel, the system
produces net amount of DIP and DIN in almost all the seasons i.e. source of
nutrients, and the production of nutrients were higher during monsoon. Residual
water volume and mixing volume were high during monsoon. A quick exchange of
residual water takes place during monsoon.
