Evolution of a large coastal nourishment at Knokke. First year progress report
Beach erosion occurs along a large part of the Belgian coast, especially in the Knokke area. One of the most applied and successful measure to prevent and to cope with erosion is the artificial nourishment of the active beach and shoreface system. Under the framework of this project, a combined large beach and shoreface nourishment of a total approximately 3 million m3 of sand is planned for the Knokke area in the period 2020 – 2025. The aim of this project is to understand the hydrodynamics and morphodynamics of the Knokke area and to evaluate the nourishment efficiency. This first year progress report focuses on a literature review of the coastal morphodynamics and processes along the east Belgian coast from Zeebrugge to Zwin, as well as a pilot campaign of measurements at sea. An inventory of the existing topographic and hydrodynamic data as well as an analysis of the wave regime are presented.
