What is the preipaption in estuary?
Are you asking about the precipitation in an estuary? The precipitation in an estuary varies according to where the estuary is located. An estuary is the point where a saltwater ocean, and a freshwater river come together. Precipitation changes will influence the ecosystem within the estuary. Estuaries are located all over the world, so you would have to find one estuary, and research the precipitation of that particular location.
Where is the location of estuary ecosystem?
Estuaries are found on the coast where a river or bay or another source of fresh water has access to the open sea. Example: It is found in the water that forms at the mouth of a river where it meets the sea.
What is difference between an estuary and the seashore?

Sea which is partly enclosed by land?
It could be a Norwegian Fjord, a Scottish sea-loch, an inlet, a narrow bay. Even a river estuary (the River Mersey, England, is one example), where sea-water is mixed with river water to form brine, yet the estuary is still enclosed partly by land.

Is the East River off Manhattan in New York a true river or is it an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean?
The East River is a tidal strait. It's a strait in that it is a "water passage" between Manhattan and Long Island. Because of tides, it appears to flow like a river. It's not an actual river because it connects on both ends to the ocean. Rivers flow from inland fresh water sources (such as mountain runoff or springs). The Hudson River, on Manhattan's West side, is a true river. It flows downstream from the North. Accordingly, the East River is salt water, the Hudson is fresh water. The East River is not an estuary, though--an estuary is the point of mingling of a river and the ocean. The mouth of the Hudson, though, while perhaps technically forming an estuary, flows around various islands and is channeled to the point that the distinction isn't worth making, as long as you ignore Spuyten Duyvil. You could say the East River is associated with an estuary, but it isn't one itself. One other thing: while the Hudson River does carry fresh water from upstate, the salt water from the Atlantic mingles upstream as far as Poughkeepsie, depending on tides, so it's pretty salty when it hits Manhattan.
