Tidal prism information


A tidal prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide,[1] or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide.[2]

The inter-tidal prism volume can be expressed by the relationship: P=H A, where H is the average tidal range and A is the average surface area of the basin.[3] It can also be thought of as the volume of the incoming tide plus the river discharge.[4] Simple tidal prism models stated the relationship of river discharge and inflowing ocean water as Prism=Volume of ocean water coming into an estuary on the flood tide + Volume of river discharge mixing with that ocean water; however, there is some controversy as to whether traditional prism models are accurate.[1] The size of an estuary's tidal prism is dependent on the basin of that estuary, the tidal range and other frictional forces.
