Similar reservoirs (or impoundments) can be used to generate tidal renewable energy and\/or provide the catalysis for urban regeneration. Constructed near the coast in natural river basins, these reservoirs have a smaller environmental footprint and are less obstructive than inland dams.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eWritten by an international group of Civil, Environmental, and Geotechnical Engineers, \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eSustainable Water Resource Development using Coastal Reservoirs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ediscusses the\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003elatest research and breakthroughs in their use, while offering expert advice into their sustainable design and construction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe perfect reference for researchers exploring the feasibility of this emerging technology or experienced professionals who wish to implement this technology as a water scarcity solution or a tidal renewable energy source or for urban regeneration, \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eSustainable Water Resource Development using Coastal Reservoirs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eprovides an expert resource to the design, construction and use of coastal reservoirs. The reference begins with a brief but readable examination of water quantity, quality design and geotechnical considerations. The book includes international case studies to clearly illustrate the various uses, design, planning, construction, and operation methods. These case studies include projects such as: Afsluitdijk in the IJsselmeer, (Netherlands), Zuiderzee (Netherlands), Thanneermukkom Bund (India), Sihwa (South Korea), Saemangeum, (South Korea), Chenhang (China), Plover Cove (China), and Marina Barrage (Singapore).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e T.
