Kochi - 16 Preface WThe Story of Ganga from her source to the sea, from old times to new, is the story of India's civilization and culture- Jawaharlal Nehru Ri vers and estuaries have been the foci of civilization from the dawn of recorded history or long before. Much of the materials released during natural crustal weathering have been carried to the ocean by various geological agents such as rivers, wind, glaciers etc., of which rivers alone transport about 90% of the total sediment flux annually. However, all the sediments borne off by rivers seldom reach the sea as considerable quantity is detained in the estuarine and the other near shore environments.
