河口地區是一個特性相當複雜之區域，在河口地區海洋對淡水作用之重要性在於影響其空間上與時間性之變化，尤其是感潮河段受潮汐動力影響甚鉅。感潮河段因為淡、鹽水交會稀釋，鹽度受潮汐特性影響。
本研究以愛河為實驗地點，透過密集的採樣頻率，採樣位置涵蓋整各愛河感潮段之四個測站，以及採樣配合潮汐大、小潮期間，以及全潮時的定點採樣透過這些以便能更清楚了解河口地區的水質與顆粒傳遞之變化作用。
研究結果顯示，大、小潮營養鹽的變化趨勢有所不同，愛河感潮段中之營養鹽變化，亞硝酸鹽與硝酸鹽主要來源為上游河川輸入或者是硝化作用所產生，非由外海所帶入。另外全潮時採樣結果顯示，在轉潮時，底層會發生高流速情況，受到底層強勁的漲、退潮流，SPM濃度因流速明顯變化劇烈升高，經底層流速劇烈之擾動，使底層沉積物因再懸浮作用影響而將沉積物揚起，造成SPM濃度迅速升高。
在Pearson相關性檢定中，底層水體中，SPM濃度有部份是來自於底床沉積物的再懸浮作用所產生，而這些因為再懸浮作用所揚起之SPM，亦會將所含之營養鹽釋放至水體中，造成底層營養鹽濃度升高。主成分分析結果顯示此潮汐變化影響鹽度分佈，使得鹽度對濁度與懸浮顆粒物質有強烈之負相關性，顯示潮汐大小對懸浮顆粒物質之影響相當明顯，也主導懸浮顆粒物質的傳輸分佈。

Estuary is an area with very complicated characteristics, which is mainly affected by tidal dynamics. The salinity of a tidal river is influenced by tidal characteristics where fresh water meets salty water and thus causing the complexity.
The Love River in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, has been chosen as an study area for the researches describing in this thesis work. The four sampling stations cover the tidal zone of the Love River. Through frequent sampling, which corresponds to spring tides, neap tides and even during complete tidal cycles, the water quality and the variations of particle circulation in estuary area can be comprehended better.
The distributions of the nutrients in the river are different during spring tides and neap tides. Nitrite and nitrate are mainly come from the upriver or generated by the nitrification within the river. In addition, the results from the whole tidal cycle experiments show that high flow rate occurs at the bottom during the period of turning tides, which caused higher SPM concentrations in the bottom layer. This is mainly due to the accumulated agitations at the river bottom were resuspended by the strong currents.
Analytical results from a Pearson product-moment correlation has shown that the SPM concentrations in the bottom water partly come from the resuspension processes of bottom sediments. Nutrients accumulated in the bottom sediments were released into the water column by the SPM resuspensions. The result of PCA shows that the changes of tides affect the distribution of salinity has a strong negative correlation with turbidity and SPM. It also shows that tides not only have a quite obvious influence on suspended particle matters but also dominate the distribution of suspended particle matters through out the Love River.
