Preserve the coast.

Description

Surface water management, in a transitional territory between the plain and the sea, must also account for the possibility that the tidal oscillations in certain weather or astronomical conditions can hinder the normal flow of water at the mouth of the waterways.

Expected results

Normal outflow preserved; water outflow mapped and monitored.

Result indicators

Water flow [m³]
