DESIGN OF ENCLOSED HARBORS TO REDUCE SEDIMENTATION

Guidelines are presented to aid in the design of small, enclosed harbors where the reduction of sedimentation is an important consideration. Sedimentation is assumed to result wholly from the settlement of suspended material carried into the harbor on a rising tide. Sediment deposition in both the harbor basin and the connecting navigation channel are considered.
