Abstract

An investigation was conducted in the River Bartala to study the principal hydrodynamic factors
causing the deposition of suspended particles in brackishwater fish farms during exchange of tidal water.
Relationship between (i) marginal velocity and tidal height, (ii) width of deposition and tidal height, (iii)
width of deposition and tidal time have been established. With the help of the above equations and the
non-linear statistical curve between silt ingress and tidal time fitted earlier by the authors, the relationship
between silt deposition in the feeder canal and tidal time has been established. That the equation, the
first of its kind, is very useful in estimating the ratio of silt deposition in pond and canal of the brackishwater
farm has been demonstrated.
The methodology developed will be immensely helpful in estimating the life of a brackishwater
fish farm, the knowledge of which is vitally essential for its scientific designing
