  2. Tidal river - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_river

    A section of a larger river affected by the tides is a tidal reach, but it may sometimes be considered a tidal river if it had been given a separate and another title name. Generally, tidal rivers are short rivers with relatively low discharge rates but high overall discharge, which generally implies a shallow river with a large coastal mouth.

  3. Mouth bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouth_bar

    The development of tidal-dominated river mouth bars highly depends on the bidirectional sediment transport by tidal currents causing significant upstream return of sediment into channel. Flood and ebb-dominated sediment transports generate a broad, discontinuous, radial mouth bar dominated by large tidal ridges separated by deep channels. [10]

  4. Head of tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_of_tide

    Head of tide, tidal limit [2] or tidehead [3] is the furthest point upstream where a river is affected by tidal fluctuations, [4] or where the fluctuations are less than a certain amount. [5] The river section influenced by tides and marine forces, but without salinity is a tidal river. Downstream areas are brackish and termed estuaries. [6]

  5. River mouth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_mouth

    A river mouth is where a river flows into a larger body of water, such as another river, a lake/reservoir, a bay/gulf, a sea, or an ocean. [1] At the river mouth, sediments are often deposited due to the slowing of the current, reducing the carrying capacity of the water. [1] The water from a river can enter the receiving body in a variety of ...

  6. Piscataqua River - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piscataqua_River

    Named by the area's original Abenaki inhabitants, the word Piscataqua is believed to be a combination of peske (branch) with tegwe (a river with a strong current, possibly tidal). [3] The first known European to explore the river was Martin Pring in 1603. Captain John Smith placed a spelling similar to "Piscataqua" for the region on his map of 1614

  7. Estuarine water circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estuarine_water_circulation

    τ' = V estuary T tide / (1-r) V TP. V estuary is defined as the mean estuarine volume and T tide is the tidal period. [5] The total fluxes of brackish water through the river mouth during tidal events is often much higher (often by a factor of 10 to 100) than the volume flux from riverine inflow. Therefore, if measurements are not precise, the ...

  9. Great Bay (New Hampshire) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Bay_(New_Hampshire)

    Located within the Gulf of Maine watershed, the Great Bay Estuary is a drowned river valley composed of high-energy tidal waters, deep channels and fringing mudflats. The entire estuary extends inland from the mouth of the Piscataqua River between Kittery, Maine, and New Castle, New Hampshire through Little Bay into Great Bay proper at Furber Strait, a distance of 12 miles (19 km).
