Field studies were carried out on the water and sediment dynamics in the tropical, macro-tidal, Daly Estuary. Sediment trapping in the estuary varies seasonally and inter-annually depending on wet season flows. A large sediment bar builds up during high flow wet seasons which can cause a freshwater ponding effect which takes about 3 successive dry years to disappear.
