The bulk of the city of Plymouth lies on a peninsula of land between two rivers, the Tamar to the west and the River Plym to the east.
Both rivers flow south into the natural sheltered harbour of the Sound, which along with the lower river valley and estuaries around Plymouth are a classic example of a ria or drowned river valley system.
The two main river valleys are incised on both flanks by east-west running valleys, which typically resulted in creeks at the confluence with the main rivers.

Once the rivers leave the moor their valleys become heavily wooded, and the surrounding countryside changes to rich pastureland.
The river estuaries, which are wide and shallow, are penetrated far upstream by the tide.
This is because they are rias, drowned river valleys, which came about because of an increase in sea level at the end of the last Ice Age.

Hydrophobicity of Cd was unaffected by the addition of suspended sediment particles, indicating that hydrophobic and hydrophilic forms adsorb in accordance with their relative abundance or that rapid reequilibration of dissolved Cd species occurs after specific forms have undergone adsorption.
In the Plym, a logarithmic, salinity-dependent reduction in the sediment—water distribution coefficient, KD, and a high proportion of adsorbed Cd bound exchangeably indicate that particle—water interactions of Cd in environments of moderate concentrations of organic matter are governed by inorganic processes.
These observations were interpreted and modeled in terms of the preferential uptake and salting out of hydrophobic complexes of Zn and indicate that, regardless of the concentration of organic matter, the speciation and uptake of Zn in many estuaries might be strongly influenced by hydrophobic interactions.

Sea trout and salmon need to move up the river from March onwards to spawn in the upper waters near the source.

The fish were then unable to get back to the river to complete their journey.
