Abstract
The deltaic marshes constitute an important habitat in the overall bay ecosystem, both in sustaining an edemic community as well as providing spawning and/or nursery areas for many species. In order to evaluate the behavior of the deltaic marsh systems, the TDWR instituded a program of field measurements and model development in the key marsh systems of the Texas coast. The quality of flow required to inundate the designated marsh area of the Trinity Delta was evaluated utilizing the mathematical model as it had been previously calibrated and verified for the Trinity system.
