Seasonal tidal and freshwater chemistry of the south Alligator and Daly rivers

Chappell, John and Ward, Peter. 1985 in Coasts and Tidal Wetlands of the Australian Monsoon Region, eds K.N. Bardsley, J.D.S Davie and C.D. Woodroffe, Australian National University North Australia Research Unit Mangrove Monograph no.1, Darwin.
Describes major changes in inorganic chemical properties of two large tidal rivers, the Daly and the South Alligator, through the wet-dry season cycle. Wet season water quality is determined largely by flood runofffrom the catchment. Dry season chemistry is affected by turbulent diffusion of seawater upstream.
