sea inlet Explanation: zegt het "Woordenboek Milieukunde en Milieutechniek". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 min (2008-03-31 18:21:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- [PDF] Windows in the dunes – the creation of sea inlets in the nature ...Bestandsformaat: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - HTML-versie The results and effects of the sea inlets on the. salinity of the groundwater is being meticulously monitored. Keywords: Sea inlet; Slufter; ... www.vliz.be/imisdocs/publications/73836.pdf - Gelijkwaardige pagina's - Noteren From high-tide mark to polders, the range of dunes has a width of nearly 2km. In the 1950s heavy storms beat a breach through the foredunes of 'La Dune du Perroquet'. Consequently, the seawater could penetrate through the breach into a dune slack during high high tides. This phenomenon is called a 'sea inlet', or a 'slufter'. The seawater could also top over the foredunes of the Belgian 'Westhoek' in those days (during storm tides), but at the end of the 1970s a concrete dunefoot revetment was built in front of the foredunes to prevent further coastal erosion. Sea inlets in the dunes are a rare phenomenon along the sandy coasts of the southern North Sea. |
