Classification of Coastal Zone by Multi-Variate Analysis
Coastal zone is characterized by various factors such as natural and socio-economic conditions. The present paper proposes a method to classify the coastal zone into some identical groups...
Design Manual for Artificial Reefs
Artificial reefs are wave-breaking structures artificially constructed from rubble to mimic the wave-control functions of coral reefs. Since these structures are located below sea level,...
A Study of the Water Environment Improvement about Fishing Villages
In recent years water pollution has become a serious problem in anchorage and other sea areas, as a result of residential waste water from hinterland fishing communities of fishing ports,...
Development of the Double Cylinder Caisson Breakwater
A double cylinder caisson breakwater was recently developed to create a calm sea area in deep and high wave open sea areas. In order to confirm some subjects on design method and construction...
Quantitative Assessment of Marine Traffic Environment by Using the Maneuvering Space Concept
In a coastal zone, it frequently becomes important to assess the influence of the constructions upon the marine traffic environment. Marine traffic is a man-machine system, and so not...
Ecolocy-Conscious Submerged Breakwater
A submerged breakwater makes incident rough waves small when their heights exceed a certain level on the site, though the other waves lower than the level are not so much affected by the...
A Study of Political Decision Method for Remote Island's Environmental Management?Patterns of Remote Islands and a Political Goal
Remote islands are handicapped in their incomes and living conditions, because they are surrounded by oceans, the area is rather small, and also they are far from economic and cultural...

Design Hydrographs in Coastal Wetland Watersheds
The use of synthetic unit-hydrographs for hydraulic design in ungaged watersheds has been an accepted practice for over 50 years. In southeastern U.S. coastal regions, which contain extremely...
Can Statistical Methods Help to Forecast Drought?
Relationships have been developed between rainfall in eastern Australia and both southern oscillation (SO) and sea surface temperatures (SSTs), and between rainfall in Ghana, West Africa...
Stochastic Modelling of Mean Monthly Runoffs for Coruh Basin, Turkey
Stochastic models of monthly runoffs for Coruh basin, Turkey are presented. Coruh basin is located on the northeast part of Anatolia near Black Sea. Three gauging stations which have about...
Refined Modelling of Water Quality Constituents in a Semi-Enclosed Coastal Wetland Basin
Details are given of the refinements to a numerical model to improve the representation of the advective transport of water quality constituents. The higher order accurate scheme adopted...
Methods for Prediction of Maximum Scour at Coastal Structures
The most common coast scour-related problems are toe scour at rubble mound structures and vertical seawalls, and scour at the base of piles and horizontal pipelines. Existing scour prediction...
