Abstract
A venturi device made from standard sizes of polyvinyl chloride plumbing and rod-stock material was tested at Little Port Walter, an estuary in southeastern Alaska. When installed in a gravity-fed freshwater delivery system, the venturi injected seawater into the discharge water to produce a stable water flow of intermediate salinity. The use of interchangeable components with different-sized openings permits regulation of the salinity of the discharge water.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
