The long-term evolution of the Tenryu River delta associated with sand bypassing at several dams is investigated using the contour-line-change model considering the change in grain size. The effect of the increase in sediment yield from the river mouth on the nearby coasts is numerically predicted. When the sediment yield is artificially increased, the supplied sediment is mainly deposited around the river mouth, resulting in a large shoreline advance, but it takes a longer time for a sandy beach far from the river mouth to recover. Another measure, such as sand bypassing of the coast, is required to recover sandy beaches downcoast.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
