Procesos de Mezcla de un estuario afectado por drenaje de aguas ácidas (Ría de Huelva, España)

Abstract

It has studied mixing processes in a estuary affected by AMD during a biannual sampling corresponding to 2003-2004. The mixture between fresh masses waters to pH 2 with marine waters to pH 8 introduces in the system a mixing process salty induced and a mixing process pH induced. A space displacement of the processes in the interior of the estuary has been demonstrated. Thus during dry stations the mixing processes take place in the most internal zones of the estuary, whereas in wet stations, these processes take place towards sectors more outward
