Management of Coasts and Ports II (Integrated Coastal Zone Management Seminar) (WSE/HECEPD/08B/e)

Bachelor degree in a field related to land and water management or spatial planning, workable knowledge of free surface hydrodynamics

• Learn the needs and methods for an integrated approach to problems in the coastal zone and be aware of the various users and impacts on user functions in the coastal zone, be aware of the need of interdisciplinary cooperation in the development of coastal zone management schemes.
• Understanding of density currents and the two-layer system theory and the quantitive effect on salt intrusion.

ICZM Seminar  (H.J.Verhagen, M. van der Wegen and others)
The course consists of lectures, demonstrations and workshops. The guiding line through the whole course is the idea that a coastal  zone should be regarded as an integrated system. During the lectures , various aspects of integrated coastal zone management are discussed. Several case studies  from a number of countries  are given. A demonstration of the relevancy of Integrated Coastal Zone Management is given in an exercise in which for a given case, a fictive estuary (Pesisir Tropicana) the participants have to set up and evaluate several alternatives for developments in the coastal zone. The exercise is completed by a simulated session of a "coastal commission" where a selection is made between the various alternatives.
Salt Intrusion and Density Currents  (M. van der Wegen)
Theoretical treatment of two-layer system, selective withdrawal, application of Bernoulli equation and two-layer system theory, exchange flows, basic considerations on estuarine circulation patterns, interfacial flow phenomenon, breaking of internal waves, mixing, propagation of discontinuities, examples.
