Starting from the definition of an estuary, and the process of formation and classification of estuaries on the basis of salinity and climatic conditions, Indian Estuaries goes on to cover more complex aspects such as circulation, sedimentation, residence time and stratification in estuaries. Consisting of 260 pages, the book has numerous graphics and diagrammatic illustrations, colored photo plates and maps, providing a knowledge bank on ecology, fisheries and anthropogenic effects on Indian estuaries.
