Abstract The behavior of dissolved Ca and Mg during mixing of sea and river waters had been studied through a survey in the wastewater fed River Vidyadhari in the Sundarbans estuarine complex, India. The percentage variation for Ca was 79.9% during low tide and 95% during high tide with respect to chlorinity (10−3) and the same for Mg was 80% during low tide and 94.6% during high tide. The percentage addition and removal (PA & PR) was calculated with the help of the Theoretical Dilution Line (TDL) concept. A significant negative correlation between PA and PR of both Ca and Mg with chlorinity (10−3) was also observed. On the basis of the insignificant percentage variation (
