Abstract

The coastal areas of Gujarat are characterized by numerous parallel streams from the rivers flowing into the Arabian Sea. The rivers Bhadar, Ozat, Minsar and Sambli forms deltaic zones as the coastal areas are low lying and gets flooded during the monsoon. During high tide the seawater rushes into these areas through small creeks. River water flow is present only for one month during the monsoon; consequently it creates permanent saline condition creek.
