Distribution of salinities and currents in Vasishta branch of Godavari estuarine system, in relation to the fresh water discharge and tides has been studied in 3 representative months. In July, when the' river discharge is very high, the estuary exhibits some characteristics of a salt wedge type. In September, when the river discharge is usually smaller compared to that during July, the estuary tends to become a partly mixed type while during February (river discharge being minimum) the estuary becomes a well mixed type. These features are well reflected in the hourly (for 12 h) observations of salinities and currents at the 3 selected stations and in the stratification - circulation diagram. Longitudinal exchange coefficients show a decreasing trend with decrease in the fresh water discharge and with the increase in the distance from the mouth upstream. |
