Short summary
For many problems concerning water resource utilization in estuaries, it is essential to be able to express observed salinity distributions based on simple theoretical models. In this study, we propose an analytical salt intrusion model inspired from a theory for predictions of flood hydrographs in watersheds. The newly developed model can be well calibrated using a minimum of three salinity measurements along the estuary and has been successfully applied in 21 estuaries worldwide.
