Abstract
Chilka lake inlet mouth is exposed to high annual littoral drift of ab out 1 x 10(6) m(3). The inlet mouth was observed to migrate about 500 m northward during the period of one year study. Measurement on daily longshore currents indicated that the predominant longshore sediment t ransport across the mouth is towards north throughout the year.
