Discussion
State whether the following is true or false.
Rapid apparent loss in the first months after nourishment usually indicates profile adjustment rather than failure.
Answer: D
Correct answer: True
Sand placed on a beach is dumped at a slope steeper than the waves will tolerate, so the first months redistribute it seaward into the profile the wave climate demands. Volume measured above the waterline falls sharply and the scheme looks to be failing, but the material is still in the active profile and still protecting the frontage. Judging a nourishment before that adjustment is complete is the commonest error in assessing one.
