“…However, due to limited availability of measured data and the fact that the system is driven by tidal conditions, only a single point‐calibration was performed for the hydrodynamic (tidal) flow. This calibration is still in agreement with current practices in literature for such models (Goetchius and Salmun ; Na and Park ; Camp et al ; Dargahi and Setegn ; Kacikoc and Beyhan ). Though not the ideal approach, the authors were satisfied with the fact that the model was able to reproduce the monthly tidal regime represented by the single data point (Figure A), given that the system is a complex 3‐D matrix of interrelated cells.…”

Hydrodynamics and sediment transport are key physical processes contributing to habitat structure within the marine environment. Coastal development that results in the alteration of these processes (e.g., changing water flushing and/or sedimentation rates) can have detrimental impacts on sensitive systems. This is a current, relevant issue in Qatar as its coastal regions continue to be developed, not only around the capital of Doha, but in many areas around this Arabian Gulf peninsula. The northeastern Qatari coast is comprised of diverse and sensitive flora and fauna such as seagrass and macroalgae meadows, coral reefs and patches, turtles, and dugongs that tolerate harsh environmental conditions. In the near future, this area may see a rise in anthropogenic activity in the form of coastal development projects. These projects will add to existing natural stresses, such as high temperature, high salinity, and low rates of precipitation. Consequently, there is a need to characterize this area and assess the potential impacts that these anthropogenic activities may have on the region. In the present study, a novel sediment transport model is described and used to demonstrate the potential impact of altering hydrodynamics and subsequent sediment transport along the northeastern Qatar nearshore marine environment. The developed models will be tested using potential scenarios of future anthropogenic activities forecasted to take place in the area. The results will show the effects on water and sediment behavior and provide a scientific approach for key stakeholders to make decisions with respect to the management of the considered coastal zone. Furthermore, it provides a tool and framework that can be utilized in environmental impact assessment and associated hydrodynamic studies along other areas of the Qatari coastal zone.

“…Rivers, including inland waterway and streams, provide drinking water and hydro power for communities, recreational activities for many, habitats for aquatic species, navigational pathways for freight transport, and wastewater receive for industries [1]. Nevertheless intentional or unintentional chemical spills continue to warning and emergency response systems (EWERSs) both for daily water quality management and spill response [1,6].…”

Existing spill EDSS commonly focus on modeling the transport of contaminant and data management and display with GIS.…”

“…Inland waterways are understood as navigationally passable waterways of rivers, lakes and channels organized, marked and open to safe navigation (Dadić et al 1996;Rohács and Simongáti 2007;Ivakovic et al 2008;Brnjac and Cavar 2009;Camp et al 2010). Search and rescue services on inland waterways are considered as poorly developed.…”

Abstract. Search and rescue on inland waterways are considered to be insu ciently developed. e methods of search and rescue have been developed only for sea waterways. Despite the possibilities of comparison, the speci c characteristics of inland waterways are the reason why it is seriously considered to develop proposals for search and rescue models on inland waterways. e authors of this paper suggest a search and rescue model for rivers, lakes and channels regarding con guration and the current safety conditions on inland waterways. e model allows a successful quest for reduced search time. In addition, the model predicts the performance of the search.
