dc.description.abstractSemi-enclosed basins are environmentally dynamic and some of the most anthropogenically affected components of the coastal realm. They can reflect various environmental impacts, thus qualifying as natural laboratories to study these impacts. The Gulf of Khambhat (GoK) is such a system where analysis of in situ parameters indicated polluted conditions. The sources of various contaminants were deciphered. Though there are considerable inputs of pollutants, the assimilative capacity of the GoK holds good with high Dissolved Oxygen (DO) (6-9.3-mg/L) content as revealed in situ and in silico. High Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and marginal ammonia contamination prevail in the region. Simulations revealed that the rivers bring in a considerable amount of nitrate, organic material and phosphate into the Gulf. Considering the prevailing environmental condition, the current study posits to have regular water quality monitoring; and the carrying capacity of the Gulf should be assessed before the authorization of anthropogenic activities.
