(waters essentially of continental origin and poorly renewed); the third area is constituted of a mixure of waters of continental and oceanic origins. {T}he latter group can be separated into two subgroups : a group completely renewed by oceanic water during the dry season and another group totally renewed by freshwater during the rainy and flood seasons.
