Effects of tides and surface runoff on channel geometry

Hydraulics of the river mouth with a tidal effect intrusion is sometimes quite different from that of the river without them. Upstream and downstream interactions of any hydrological and hydraulic system or watershed are complex and elusive. The type of land use and land cover of the area would larg...
