Experience with Self-Dredging Harbour Entrances

P. Donnelly, I. MacINNIS

Abstract

About 7 years ago, the Department of Public Works of Canada requested the assistance of the National Research Council to devise a means of reducing sediment deposition in the entrance to a small harbour at Dmgwall, Nova Scotia. Siltation of this harbour entrance, which opens to the Atlantic, was so severe that on occasions it was completely blocked by sand at low tides.
