Wikipedia
Tidal river
A tidal river is a river whose flow and level are influenced by tides. A section of a larger river affected by the tides is a tidal reach, but it may sometimes be considered a tidal river if it has been given a separate name. Generally, tidal rivers are short rivers with relatively low discharge rates but high overall discharge, which generally implies a shallow river with a large coastal mouth. In some cases, high tides impound downstream flowing freshwater, reversing the flow and increasing the water level of the lower section of river, forming large estuaries. High tides can be noticed as far as 100 kilometres (62 mi) upstream. Oregon's Coquille River is one such stream for which that effect can be noticed.

tidal river
A tidal river is a section of a river that is subject to the ebb and flow of tide water from a connected sea or ocean. The tide's influence can extend far upstream from the mouth of the river, causing changes in water level and flow. In addition to the regular rise and fall of water levels, tidal rivers can also experience tidal bores, which is a strong tide that pushes against the river's current.

An example of a tidal river is the portion of the Connecticut River flowing from Windsor Locks, Connecticut, to the Atlantic Ocean.
