table ( Fig. 1 ) does
be tenable. Mangrove species
grow under tidal swamp conditions. During
the high tides water table in tidal swamps
occurs over the soil surface. The fall of
groundwater table during the low tides
under such conditions depends mainly on
soil permeability than on elevation of the
landform. Soil permeability in Chakaria
Sundarbans being very slow, the
groundwater table remains almost on the soil
surface even during the low tides. No
scope, therefore, remains to be confused
on the issue at which depth the groundwater
table should occur in very poorly
drained soils of tidal swamps.
