| Abstract: | Mandovi and Zuari are two estuaries located in Goa, west coast of India. Variation of water level in the estuaries was monitored
for a month at 13 locations using tide-poles during March–April 2003. Analysis of this data has provided for the first time,
characteristics of how tidal constituents vary in the narrow and shallow estuaries, typical of those found along the west
coast of India. At a distance of 45 km from the mouth the tidal range increased in both estuaries by approximately 20%. The
tidal range at the upstream end of the two channels at the stations dropped sharply because of the increase in elevation of
the channels. |
