Estuaries (1130)

The expert group used following data sets as a help in outlining the estuaries: average stream (places where continuous measurements), results from VELMALA -stream modeling (places without measuring information), depth data, and salinity model on the sea areas. Orthoimagery was used for observing the extent of the sediment plumes and typical vegetation in estuaries, reed belts. Rivers flowing to the dammed artificial lakes were not included into the Estuary data set.
