Computation of dilution discharge and mean concentration of effluents in Beypore Estuary, west coast of India

Abstract

Tide dominated Beypore estuary along the west coast of India was studied to estimate the mean flow available for diluting the conservative effluents based on the distribution of ambient salinity as a guide through one dimensional analysis. The average concentration of the toxic material in the vicinity of the discharge point also is estimated for an assumed discharge rate of the material
