Abstract. Sedimentation is of vital concern in the conservation, development and utilization of our
soil and water resources. The suspended sediment in estuarine waters is hazardous to navigation in
estuaries, which have important ports and harbours. A breadth-averaged numerical model to study
circulation and......
