| Summary: | 1985, and the diversion of Colorado River discharge from the accelerated shoreline erosion. Evaluation is done through Colorado River project in response to a need for a dependable, navigable channel connecting the Gulf dredging schedule used during the first eight years following Gulf into Matagorda Bay in 1992. An evaluation of project impacts on the natural sediment budget is performed within In 1968, federal authorization was given for the mouth of the inspection of project impacts to longshore sediment Intracoastal Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico near the town of jetties along Matagorda Peninsula at the channel entrance in jetty completion, the project resulted in significant Matagorda, Texas. The project included the construction of mouth. Assessment of site data reveals that under the numerically tested based on pre-project objectives. of pre- and post-project conditions at the Colorado River original design project maintenance dredging plan is presented as a more effective maintenance schedule and is preserving an open, navigable channel while preventing this study to determine the effectiveness of the project at transport, and includes both physical and numerical analysis trapping and sorting of sediment transported alongshore.
