Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often contentious relationship between human intervention and natural coastal processes. It focuses on the specific case of Camp Ellis Beach, Maine, and the erosion that has plagued its shores for decades. The author meticulously investigates the…history of the Saco River breakwater and jetty system, tracing its construction and modifications through time. The text explores the potential impact of these structures on the beach erosion problem, drawing on historical records and engineering studies. The book further examines a series of physical model tests conducted to analyze the effectiveness of various improvement plans designed to mitigate erosion. The results of these tests, which involved detailed measurements of wave heights, sediment movement, and current patterns, are presented and analyzed. Through this thorough examination of both historical context and scientific data, the author offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of engineering design, coastal dynamics, and the consequences of human interventions in natural systems. The book's findings raise crucial questions about the unintended consequences of infrastructure projects and the importance of carefully considering the long-term impacts of human activity on coastal environments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
