The distribution of uranium and radium isotopes between sediments and seawater was investigated in two major areas of the Ganges-Brahmaputra (G-B) estuarine mixing zone. To the east of the main river channel is a shallow area (;Increased river discharge caused the mixing zone to migrate offshore from coastal sediment deposits. Desorption of ;For the G-B mixing zone, sediment supplies from the Rivers and salt water migration into the western and eastern delta determine dissolved radium fluxes to the Bay of Bengal. The flux of ;A mixing profile of uranium and salinity during low discharge in January 1987 shows uranium activities in waters ;In January 1987, freshwater and sediment discharge were low (fw = 7600 m... |
