Variations in the physico-chemical and chemical parameters of the Sassandra estuarine zone are greatly influenced by the dynamics of the Sassandra River. The waters are heavily loaded during periods of flood. Salinity is very low or zero during the flood and increases slightly to 0.1 to 2.93‰ in the dry season. The values of physico-chemical parameters and those of the nutrient salts measured in the Sassandra estuary are characteristic of water of good quality. However, highly charged waters and high levels of phosphate during the high flow period make this estuary an environment vulnerable to pollution.
