Tidal inlets for preservation of estuaries

Lockwood, M.G. / Carothers, H.P.

Reviewed from standpoint of coastal engineering and tidal hydraulics are complex problems involved in design and building of balanced tidal inlets to allow free inflow of adequate Gulf of Mexico water; environmental controls include use of inlets both to increase and decrease salinity, aid circulation and mixing of waters, and provide sufficient tidal flushing to help estuary assimilate treated return flows; concepts of typical inlet design, including sediment transport aspects, water and salinity balance, and tidal flushing process, are presented.
