Description 11-17
Variations in temperature, salinity, suspended matter and currents at mouth, middle and upstream regions of Mandovi Estuary were studied in relation to tides for 3 seasons, viz. premonsoon, monsoon and postmonsoon. Waters attained maximum temperature of 31.5°C during premonsoon and minimum of 25.5°C during postmonsoon. Maximum salinity variation over a tidal cycle was in the middle region of the estuary during monsoon (2 to 34%) and minimum was at the mouth during premonsoon (34 to 36%). Horizontal gradient in salinity was maximum (2.0%/km) during monsoon and minimum (about 0.2%/km) during premonsoon. The estuary changed from a stratified type during the wettest season (monsoon) to a well-mixed type in premonsoon. The sediment load was generally low (
