Abstract
HYDRODYNAMICS OF THE CONDADO LAGOON
Highlights
The Condado Lagoon was dredged in the late 1950’s in order to obtain fill material for the foundation of the Baldorioty de Castro Avenue, which borders the lagoon to the south
In an effort to restore the lagoon to its original pristine condition, Caribbean Oceanography Group was engaged to determine the grain size requirements necessary to ensure the stability of any fill material to be placed within the dredging footprint
The Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) Hydrodynamic model was implemented in order to determine the required characteristics of the fill material
Summary
The Condado Lagoon was dredged in the late 1950’s in order to obtain fill material for the foundation of the Baldorioty de Castro Avenue, which borders the lagoon to the south. In an effort to restore the lagoon to its original pristine condition, Caribbean Oceanography Group was engaged to determine the grain size requirements necessary to ensure the stability of any fill material to be placed within the dredging footprint. The Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) Hydrodynamic model was implemented in order to determine the required characteristics of the fill material. Material for the foundation of the avenue was obtained by dredging the lagoon (See image of Multi-beam Sonar bathymetric data at right, courtesy Kyle Enright, TetraTech).
