Dry season because it increases evaporation of water would increase the concentration of salt in the water

Answer: In dry season.

Step-by-step explanation:

An estuary is a mixture of fresh water and ocean water that contains a variety of organism in it.

Salinity can be recorded more when there is less water or all the water has temporarily evaporated.

Maximum salinity can be observed during dry conditions because of evaporation of water from estuary.
