Multi-channel estuaries, such as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and
the Scheldt in the Netherlands, have characteristics of both the
river and the sea, forming a unique environment influenced by tidal
movements of the sea and freshwater flow of the river. This study
addresses a number of knowledge gaps in multi-channel estuaries by
developing a predictive analytical approach for salinity intrusion
and discharge estimate in multi-channel estuaries. The new approach
agrees well with 1-D hydrodynamic models and observations,
indicating its applicability in practice. Most importantly, the
study has successfully developed a new theory and a new equation to
quantify tidal pumping due to ebb-flood channel residual
circulation and the related salt dispersion.
