SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

Management proposals to counter undesirable sediment accumulation in the Keurbooms estuary.

Transactions - Geological Society of South Africa, Volume 86, No. 2, Year 1983

In this estuary in the southern Cape Province, sediment consists mainly of marine calcareous sand and enters the estuary by barrier overwash and through the tidal inlet. This sediment accumulation could be countered by stabilizing the overwash channels and by fixing the position of the migratory inlet in a position where the longshore current sediment supply to the inlet is reduced.-from Authors
