	Brackish water - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brackish water is water that is saltier than fresh water, but not as salty as sea water.
		Thus, brackish covers a range of salinity regimes and is not considered a precisely defined condition.
		The term brackish water derives from the Low Saxon word brackwater or possibly the Dutch word brakwater, which is the water of a brack.

		Most of the fish that we frequently keep in brackish aquaria are either from these areas or adapted to migrate from the sea into the rivers and vice versa.
		Generally, the shopkeeper can probably advise you on which species are brackish which are not and, as with fresh water and marine fish, knowing the water conditions to which the fish are acclimatised in his or her tank is important.
		The care and maintenance of brackish water fish are no more difficult or complicated than the tropical freshwater fishes that most aquarists keep, and the wide diversity of unusual and interesting species available makes it well worthwhile and rewarding.

	Brackish and freshwater environments -
		As such, estuaries are semi-enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water with free connection to the open sea.
		Coastal waters are the main area of development for artisanal fisheries and play a key role as nursery grounds for a wide range of marine species as well as being the principle cause of conflict between artisanal and industrial fisheries.
		Brackish and freshwater environments range from the coastal environments around the mouths of rivers to large lakes and reservoirs with a corresponding variety of plants and animals, the plants being characterized by the presence of both algae and angiosperms (flowering plants).

		Brackish water is water that is neither marine nor freshwater but has a salinity somewhere in between.
		Estuaries and mangrove swamps are good examples of brackish conditions and most other examples are where a river meets the sea.
		Due to where these conditions arise, brackish water does not have a specific salinity but can fluctuate strongly between the two extremes of freshwater and marine.

		Secondly, the brackish water aquarium is essentially a marine tank in terms of hardware and maintenance, and many (but not quite all) brackish water fish can adapt readily to marine conditions.
		The brackish water aquarium is more forgiving than a marine or reef tank, making it an ideal stepping stone for someone who wants to keep a marine aquarium but hasn't any experience of keeping fishes at all.
		Although brackish water aquaria are less frequently created than either fresh or marine ones, brackish water fish are far from uncommon and in fact include some of the hobby's staples.

		Initially, at time t=0, both the interface between the fresh and the brackish water and the interface between the brackish and the salt water are straight and make a 45 degree angle with the horizontal.
		The brackish zone is 40 m wide initially; the fresh/brackish interface runs from (x,z)=(150,0) to (x,z)=(190,-40) and the brackish/salt interface from (x,z)=(110,0) to (x,z)=(150,-40).
		The fresh, brackish, and salt water are approximated as immiscible (it is realized that this may not be realistic for the simulation of long term effects in a coastal aquifer, but this hypothetical study focuses on the buoyancy-driven part of the flow).

		Another limitation of brackish water is regarding live plants, most species are simply incapable of surviving in such an environment.
		Brackish tanks will usually have their pH set between 7.5 and 8.3, moderate to hard water (10 - 20°dH), and a salinity that can vary anywhere from pure freshwater (1000 ppm) to pure saltwater (1025 ppm) but is more often kept closer to the freshwater side, like 1005 ppm.
		Fluctuations in salinity and other water parameters are not a problem since they happen all the time in natural brackish waters, and some say it should even be done on purpose in brackish tanks.
