Abstract

Based on the water level and conductivity measurements, the Keelung River is affected by tidal action up to 35 km from the confluence with Tanshui River. Actually, sea water intruded into the river only for 12 km, which is one third of the tidal effect segment. Sea water and river water mix well during spring-flood tide but a little salt wedge occurs during neap-ebb tide.
