The present paper addresses the litho-dynamic and morpho-dynamic processes in the coastal zone of Babie Doły (KM 93.6–93.9), Poland. As a background, the history of coastal engineering measures in this area is described. The impact of post-war structures on the seashore is analysed on the basis of historical maps, supported by results of the sediment transport modelling. Shore regression is caused by the so-called downstream erosion behind the headland with remains of rock palisade structures. The possible consequences for the seashore resulting from the removal of the analysed revetment are discussed. The paper also presents recommendations to the relevant authorities for the future.

AbstractModelling soil erosion and sediment transport are vital to assess the impact of the flash floods. However, limited research works have studied sediment transport, especially in Egypt. This paper employs the HEC-HMS lumped hydrological model to predict the sediment load due to the flood event of 9th March 2014 in Wadi Billi, Egypt. The Modified USLE model has been used to calculate the total upland erosion, while Laursen-Copeland has been used to simulate load streams’ sediment transport potential. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) has been applied over Landsat 8 image captured on 20th February 2014 using ArcMap 10.5 to determine the vegetation cover based on its spectral footprint. The resulted sedigraph showed accumulation of more than five thousand tons of sediments at the Wadi’s outlet. The results are crucial to design a suitable stormwater management system to protect the downstream urban area and to use flood water for groundwater recharge.

Sediment transport can have a negative impact on riparian environments, as it can lead to the deterioration of ecological diversity and increase flood risks. Sediment transport modelling is thus a key tool in river basin management and the development of river training structures. In this study, we examined the appropriateness of 1D modelling for total sediment transport loads using the Engelund–Hansen and Ackers–White transport equations for the Lower Danube River. The study evaluated the effect of sediment grading on the accuracy of 1D model results, the appropriateness of 1D sediment transport modelling within technical or engineering projects, and the appropriateness of the Engelund–Hansen and Ackers–White equations for estimating sediment yield in the area of the Lower Danube River. The model results have been compared to field measurements, with the accuracy of the modelling results being evaluated with statistical tests. The obtained results show: (i) the sediment grading does not have a significant impact on the 1D modelling results, (ii) 1D sediment transport modelling gives sufficiently accurate results for practical engineering use (e.g. the estimation of dredging activities), and (iii) the Engelund–Hansen equation is generally better for sediment transport modelling in the Lower Danube River.
