Where salt meets roots.
Water makes the rules.

Incoming tides advance through branching mud channels. Mangrove roots add hydraulic resistance; freshwater inflow and rain dilute saltwater, while concentration is carried with each mass-conserving transfer.

∂(hS)/∂t + ∇ · (qS) ≈ ∇ · (hD∇S)

A finite-volume educational approximation with explicit bounded transfers. It is intended for interactive environmental illustration, not calibrated hydrodynamic design.
