Method for securing coastal stretches and breakwaters / hip systems and equipment for carrying out the method

摘要

In a method for coastal protection, where the coastal area has an underlying freshwater basin and below this a salt water tongue which extends obliquely down into the coastal area, the pressure is equalized in the groundwater basin at least along an area at the shore line completely or partly to the atmosphere through pressure equalization modules, preferably in the form of pipes with a filter at the bottom, which extend down into the groundwater basin. This causes sedimentation of material and thereby an increase in the width of the shore. The resulting sand drift may be utilized for additional building-up of the coastal area by further establishing fascines.
