Book excerpt: Presented in this report are the results of model studies on Missouri River boat marina entrance configurations. This model study was conducted at Mead Hydraulic laboratory. Small boat marinas along alluvial rivers are constantly plagued by the deposition of sediment at marina entrances and, subsequently, within the marina themselves. Dredging of this accumulated sediment is usually required at regular intervals. The cost of this dredging and the inconvenience caused by the dredging underscore the importance of limiting sediment deposition within marinas. Staffs of several facilities have conducted studies in the search for a marina entrance configuration that would reduce the amount of sediment deposited in the entrance and, subsequently, in the basin.
