Abstract
Copper, chromium and manganese concentrations ln the water and sediment samples
along with some physicochemical parameters were determined at four stations of Kali
estuary. 'l'he moan concentrations of Cu, Cr and Mn in water were 0.11, 0.044 and 0.327
ppm respectively. The corresponding values for sediment were 7.022, 14.13 and 185.66
ppm on dry weight basis. ln the spatial sequence, the variation in trace metals concentration
of sediment exhibited a clear increasing trend from the estuarine mouth towards upstream.
Range in temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen were 27.30 - 34.(X]°C, 0.14 - 29.04%¢
and 3.88 - 6.70 ml/1 respectively.
