Salinity and tides in alluvial estuaries

 H.H.G. Savenije, Salinity and Tides in Alluvial Estuaries, 2006, Elsevier Science and Technology, ISBN 0444521070.

“Salinity and Tides in Alluvial Estuaries” presents an integrated theory for one-dimensional flow and transport in estuaries with an active morphology. The book provides a new approach with numerous case illustrations and a comprehensive overview of the literature to date.

This book is a valuable theoretical resource for graduate students specialising in estuary processes and for researchers in related disciplines. It is also a useful  reference work for practitioners and consultants with its wide range of analytical equations, describing hydraulic, mixing and salt intrusion processes in estuaries.
