The Knysna Estuary A review The main hydrographic divisions Flushing rate in days Distribution of salinity with low river inflow Salinity distribution during high flows and floods Distribution of dissolved nitrogen salts Distribution of soluble inorganic phosphorus salts Suspended solids The data so far presented tells us that the estuary is not enriched (as yet) but it says nothing about the variation in light climate due to suspended solids borne in the flood waters. The next slide shows how critical this can be!
