Kaikhali exhibited one of the steepest slopes among the stations, with a highly significant trend ( F = 1952.38, p < 0.0001), highlighting a sharp rise in salinity, likely due to intensified saltwater intrusion.
Kaikhali exhibited one of the steepest slopes among the stations, with a highly significant trend ( F = 1952.38, p < 0.0001), highlighting a sharp rise in salinity, likely due to intensified saltwater intrusion.
Mongla also exhibited a negative trend ( F = 3.95, p = 0.0467), albeit with a smaller effect size, implying a subtle upward shift in salinity levels.
Other researchers have reported a decreasing trend in freshwater flow (Anwar & Takewaka, 2014 ; Islam & Gnauck, 2011 ), and our results statistically advanced previous findings, reporting separately for the seasons.
