Tide-cum pump fed farms
The places where free tidal water is available only during some months period tide cum pump fed farms are suitable.

A site having mean spring tide range between 0.8 m to 1.3 m with ground levels at about low spring tide levels is suitable for such farms. These farms would require to be supplemented by pumping of water during certain months when spring tide range is smaller and exchange of water is not possible for several weeks at a stretch. This would also require main sluice gate and individual pond sluice like in the case of tide fed farms. But in addition pumping unit is required for supplying the water during the shortage of water.
