(In civil engineering practice, the terminology is just the opposite: a well sorted sediment is poorly graded, and a poorly sorted sediment is well graded.) The effect of sorting on sediment transport is a rapidly advancing area of research nowadays.

For example, if silt fences are installed on two separate construction sites you may submit photos of the silt fences from both construction sites and count them as two of the five conservation practices.

It covers the sudden nature of flash floods and the role of vegetation in flood mitigation. The use of dams and levees to control floods is highlighted, along with their potential to shift flood risks. The summary emphasizes the dual nature of floods, noting their destructive impact alongside the benefits of nutrient-rich sediments for agriculture and ecosystems.

Seasonal changes affect beach characteristics, and human interventions like sand addition and coastal structures can complicate erosion management. Barrier islands provide storm protection but face urbanization challenges. Understanding wave energy is essential for effective coastal management and preserving shorelines.
