Domain-specific¶
- Estuary
- The structural definition, formalised by Cameron and Pritchard in 1963, is purely physical and requires three simultaneous features: measurable dilution of sea water by fresh water derived from land drainage; a semi-enclosed coastal geometry; and a free connection to the open sea that maintains the salt supply
This sourceCameron and Pritchard's 1963 chapter, the source of the standard structural definition of an estuary as a semi-enclosed coastal water body with a free connection to the open sea in which sea water is measurably diluted by fresh water derived from land drainage - the three physical features the sentence enumerates, and no more.
