WAVE SUPPRESSOR AND SEDIMENT COLLECTION SYSTEM
A system and method to provide water and sediment flow through a rock jetty, which includes a plurality of collection components mounted along a forward face of the rock jetty, each collection component having a plurality of flow pipes positioned through the body of the rock jetty to receive water carrying sediment at a first end of the plurality of flow pipes; a principal flow pipe positioned through the rock jetty to receive flow from the plurality of flow pipes and to carry the water and sediment to a predetermined distance to the rear of the jetty, to deposit sediment at that location; a continuous trough mounted on the forward face of the rock jetty to define a means to efficiently capture the water and sediment at entrances of the plurality of flow pipes and flow it through the pipes more efficiently; and a filter screen covering the entrance of the trough to allow water and sediment to flow into the trough and to prevent large rocks and other debris from entering the trough; a section of the principal flow pipe removed when sufficient quantity of sediment has been deposited, so that additional sediment can be deposited nearer to rock jetty; additional sections of the principal flow pipe removed until the sediment deposited reaches the base of the rock jetty.
