Description
In the book 'Tidal Lands: A Study of Shore Problems' by Alfred E. Carey and F. W. Oliver, the authors delve into the complexities of coastal and riparian lands, focusing on the role of horticulture in conservation. The book explores the maintenance of coastal areas and the impact of vegetation on land preservation. It discusses the tidal phenomena, currents, and wind effects on shorelines, emphasizing the importance of understanding the natural forces at play. The authors provide insights into the management of rivers, including the design of entrance channels, river training, and land reclamation. They highlight the challenges of maintaining navigable waterways, addressing issues such as dredging, harbour bars, and estuarial conditions. The book also touches on the engineering aspects of river regulation, entrance piers, and the impact of geological formations on water flow. Through case studies like the Thames Estuary Walls and the Tampico Harbour Works, the authors illustrate successful strategies for managing waterways and mitigating shoaling. They discuss the significance of balancing trade requirements, environmental concerns, and engineering solutions in maintaining effective water channels. The book serves as a comprehensive guide for engineers, environmentalists, and policymakers involved in coastal management and river conservation.
