Abstract
Metals were investigated at Tarkarli, Kolam and Aachara estuary of Malvan, Maharashtra under low tide situation in different seasons. Ni, Cu, Pb and Mn were observed nil during monsoon season, while Fe and Mg were in high range. Na, Ca and K were low during rainy season and constant during summer and winter seasons. Lower values of all the metals during monsoon season suggest that the freshwater influx in the estuary can be the main influence on the water quality.
