Estuary Geometry as a Function of Tidal Range
Authors: Brian O'Connor, John Nicholson, and Ralph RaynerAuthor Affiliations
Publication: Coastal Engineering 1990
Abstract
The tidal characteristics, and consequently the morphology, of an estuary can be altered substantially by engineering works. A method is suggested for estimating the magnitude and the time-scale of the resulting morphological changes. This method is then applied to the Welsh River Usk which will be affected by the construction of a planned tidal power barrage across the nearby Severn Estuary.
