Abstract

This paper presents results of a hydrodynamic and geomorphologic study of the river and tidal flow at the intersection of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) and San Bernard River, Texas, to develop alternatives for reducing the current in the GIWW. The hydrodynamic modeling indicates that the presently elongated and constricted river mouth has greatly reduced the flow as compared to a channel running straight to the Gulf of Mexico, the historic orientation. Relocation of the river mouth to its original position can decrease flow along the GIWW. The recommended alternative is to restore the migrating river mouth to its historic position.
