TL;DR: Suspended particulate matter (SPM) collected at regular stations from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries indicates that the peaks of high SPM coincide with peak of high rainfall and low salinity and also with peaks of moderate/low rainfall coupled with high salinity during the monsoon as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Nature and Distribution of Particulate Matter in the Mandovi Estuary, Central West Coast of India
TL;DR: In this article, seasonal variations of suspended particulate matter (SPM) along a 44-km transect of the Mandovi estuary reveal that the concentrations of SPM are low at river-end stations, increase generally seaward, and are highest at sea end stations of the estuary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemistry of the suspended sediment in the estuaries of the Mandovi and Zuari rivers, central west coast of India
TL;DR: The geochemistry of the suspended particulate matter (SPM) collected during the monsoon was determined to identify the sources of SPM and to understand the physicochemical processes in the Mandovi and Zuari river estuaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal and spatial variability of trace metals in suspended matter of the Mandovi estuary, central west coast of India
TL;DR: In this paper, the suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Mandovi estuary, western India indicate that during the monsoon and pre-monsoon, the SPM increases, and the major and trace metals decrease from stations in the upstream to downstream of the estuary.
Sources and fate of organic matter in suspended and bottom sediments of the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Western India
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured organic carbon, total nitrogen and stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions in suspended particulate matter and surface sediment along estuaries of Mandovi and Zuari rivers, two small mountainous river systems in western India during wet and dry seasons, to characterize the sources of organic matter in these systems.
