Keywords:
pH, salinity, temperature and Dissolved oxygenAbstract
From January 2016 to December 2016 the investigation was conducted in Malidevi estuary. Transparency values ranged from 0.58±0.21 to0.97±0.21. Mean values of pH was varied from 7.2±0.20 to 9.2±0.32. Atmospheric temperature varied from 25.8±1.17 °C to 32.9±1.07 °C. Surface water values ranged from 24.7±2.01 °C to 31.9±0.92 °C. Salinity of Malidevi estuary varied from 19.33±0.76 to 34.68±1.00 (‰). Dissolved oxygen was ranged from 3.31±0.26 to 7.92±0.54 mg/l. The rainfall was varied between 0.21±0.01 to 194.4±0.86 mm.
