Brackish water is a type of water that falls somewhere between freshwater and saltwater in terms of salinity levels. It typically contains higher levels of salinity than freshwater but lower levels than seawater. Brackish water is commonly found in estuaries, where rivers meet the ocean, as well as in coastal lagoons and inlets. Research in the area of brackish water focuses on understanding the unique ecosystem dynamics, environmental challenges, and potential uses of this type of water. This includes studying the impact of brackish water on marine life, water quality, and coastal habitats, as well as exploring its potential for desalination, aquaculture, and agriculture. Researchers also investigate ways to effectively manage and conserve brackish water resources to ensure sustainable use for both human populations and the environment.
