Modelling of salinity intrusion for transverse flow during extreme flood event in Kuala Selangor / Nuryazmeen Farhan Haron

Estuaries are bodies of water along the coasts that are formed when fresh water from rivers flows into and mixes with salt water from the ocean. The density of seawater is greater than fresh water and it varies with salinity and temperature. Fresh water tends to float on top of the seawater because...
