Abstract: | This paper examines a small tidal system in Wanpingkou, Rizhao of China. The tidal system was originally maintained by a balance
of the natural interaction between tidal currents and waves. But this tidal system was diminishing by reclamation processes
since the 1980s, especially in 2003 when a sailing boat station was built in the study area. To investigate the stability
and development mechanism of the tidal system, its feasibility was evaluated before the sailing boat station was built. The
erosion and deposition in and out of the tidal system was analyzed, forecasted and compared with the data from field monitoring.
The results show that the tidal system would remain relatively stable, although its adjacent shoreline might change somewhat
after the newly built sailing boat station. This change would also affect the coastal water and wetland environment in the
study area. Further field monitoring in the area is still necessary. |
