During the last two decades considerable progress has been made in analyzing the diffusion process in estuaries. Unfortunately, certain difficulties (e g prediction of diffusion coefficients) still prevent common application of the diffusion method An old technique, related to the diffusion concept, can however, frequently give useful information regarding constituent mixing and transport velocities in natural estuaries.
