Abstract
A kinematic model, developed for use during conditions of low salinity when the upper reaches of an estuary are vertically mixed, divides the estuary into one-and two-dimensional regimes. The model has been applied to the Potomac by assuming that the estuary is one-dimensional above Maryland Point and two-dimensional seaward of Morgantown.
