The river water level in an estuary is influenced by tide, atmospheric pressure, wind direction, and wind speed, making it difficult to predict. A study in the Ishikari River estuary found a way to accurately calculate the river flowrate by analyzing these factors. This method can help determine the flowrate at any point in the estuary with high precision.
