Note the proposal is a draft and does not necessarily represent the
ultimate wisdom on everything written there. I am not an expert on
tidal dynamics of rivers so it is well possible that some adjustments
in the details are advisable. Defining the lower limit in the tidal
case through water flow volume rather than duration seems prudent (and
also better matching the logic for the non-tidal case) - i chose
duration mostly because it is practically easier for the mapper to
observe.
