INVESTIGATION ON COASTAL EROSION AND EXAMINATION OF COASTAL PROTECTION FACILITIES AT CHUMPHON COAST IN THAILAND

Long term coastal erosion and shoreline positions of Sri Lanka

Coastal zone of Sri Lanka is a key to sustainable development of the country. The erosion of country’s coastal zone has been identified as a long standing problem. Therefore, coastal sediment dynamics around the country has to be identified to develop an appropriate coastal zone management plan. Remote sensing and GIS techniques can be used for quantitative and qualitative analyses of coastal p...

Nature of Coastal Aquifers in Parts of East Coast,

Coastal aquifers of Andhra Pradesh form a part of a discontinuous strip of alluvium along the East Coast of India. These aquifers comprise ridge like features generated by tidal action and the deltaic fluvial deposits. They show many of the characteristic morphological features of stream and deltaic sediments, like channel bars, levees, etc., Their maximum thickness is reported to be around 400...
