A global synthesis of the effectiveness of sedimentation-enhancing strategies for river deltas and estuaries

Jana R. Cox et al.

Summary: A comparison of 21 existing and planned Sedimentation-Enhancing Strategies (SES) shows that most strategies are capable of outpacing high rates of sea-level rise, creating wetlands, flood water storage, and opportunities for agriculture, aquaculture, housing, or recreational land use. Combinations of multiple SES are likely the most effective and sustainable method for maintaining elevation in river deltas.

Revisited sediment budget with latest bathymetric data in the highly altered Yangtze (Changjiang) Estuary

Xingjie Guo et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the subtidal morphodynamic variations in the Yangtze Estuary, revealing severe erosion in the estuary, especially in the South Branch and the delta front. The negative correlation between estuarine erosional volume and riverine sediment discharge, as well as the influence of large-scale estuarine engineering projects on local morphodynamics, are highlighted. Additionally, the reduction in sediment discharge into the open sea has led to increased erosion in the delta front.

Half a century of morphological change in the Haringvliet and Grevelingen ebb-tidal deltas (SW Netherlands) - Impacts of large-scale engineering 1964-2015

Ad J. F. van der Spek et al.

Summary: The construction of dams in the estuaries in the southwest Netherlands caused significant morphodynamic changes in the ebb-tidal deltas, leading to erosion, formation of sand bars, and reduction in average depth. The extension of the port of Rotterdam increased sand supply and eventually led to the breach of the shore-parallel bar. A three-stage conceptual model was developed to summarize the observed development of ebb-tidal deltas, which can help assess interventions in estuaries and tidal inlets for sea-level rise mitigation.

Different fates of the Yangtze and Mississippi deltaic wetlands under similar riverine sediment decline and sea-level rise

H. F. Yang et al.

Summary: The Yangtze River has experienced a sharp sediment decrease due to dam constructions since the 1980s, similar to the Mississippi River's sediment decline. However, the response of deltaic wetlands in the Yangtze Delta to sediment decrease differs from that of the Mississippi Delta, with the former continuing to expand due to a larger sediment-supply capacity from the subaqueous delta. This difference may be attributed to the stronger coastal hydrodynamics in the Yangtze Delta.

Anthropogenic Effects on the Contemporary Sediment Budget of the Lower Rhine-Meuse Delta Channel Network

J. R. Cox et al.

Summary: Deltas and estuaries worldwide are facing the challenge of capturing sufficient sediment to keep up with relative sea-level rise. Anthropogenic interventions in the urbanized Rhine-Meuse Delta of the Netherlands have led to a negative sediment budget since the 1980s. The increase in dredging activities in ports and harbors, as well as changes in sediment composition, have important implications for navigation, ecology, flood safety, and management of sediment in the system.

Climate change and human influences on sediment fluxes and the sediment budget of an urban delta: the example of the lower Rhine-Meuse delta distributary network

J. R. Cox et al.

Summary: By creating a sediment budget for the distributary channel network of the Rhine-Meuse delta, researchers predicted potential future states for the delta in 2050 and 2085, anticipating a net annual loss of sediment. This sediment deficit will result in significant accretion in the northern part of the system, leading to the need for extensive dredging for navigation, while vulnerable intertidal ecosystems may suffer from insufficient sediment supply due to sea-level rise.

The vulnerability of tidal flats and multi-channel estuaries to dredging and disposal

Wout M. van Dijk et al.

Summary: Dredging activities in estuaries play a crucial role in maintaining access for large vessels to major ports, but can have adverse effects on morphology and ecologically valuable habitats. Analysis from experiments and models suggest that dredging and disposal strategies may be unfavorable for the long-term morphology of estuary systems, with a shift towards main channel scour disposal potentially beneficial for the preservation of multi-channel systems.
