Nakdong River Estuary is complex water system. Where sea water and fresh water meet each other. After construction of Nakdong River Barrier, the flow pattern and mixing processes have been changed. In order to investigate the flow characteristics of the river water discharge, CTD castings and current observations are taken in March 2000. Several features in physical oceanographic environments are found which seems to be caused by the management fo the Nakdong River Barrier. The effect of the river plume on the flow pattern near the Nakdong River Barrier is stronger than the tidal current.
