Water Quality Study for a Coastal Development at the Bahia de lost Sueños, Baja California, Mexico
Publication: Coastal Engineering Practice (2011)
Abstract
Detailed hydrodynamic and water quality modeling studies were conducted for the purpose of evaluating the waterfront development alternatives that the Bay of Dreams LLC (Owner) was contemplating for their real estate development at the Bahia de los Sueños, Baja California, Mexico. The Corps approved RMA2 and RMA4 models were used, and a tidal hydraulic model was developed in the studies. The water quality between different lagoon alternatives was evaluated based on the two indicators including the water exchange time and the constituent residence time. The environmental impact of a brine discharge from the planned Reverse Osmosis (RO) seawater desalination plant on the marine environment was assessed.
