Erosion and sedimentation along a cohesive shoreline : the north-central shore of Lake Erie / by N.A. Rukavina and A.J. Zeman. : En13-5/85-134E-PDF
"The north shore of central parts of Lake Erie is retreating northwards at significant rates. Fortunately the shore is not heavily developed. Erosion causes physical problems for shore installations and because of the cohesive soils forming the north shore, standard or conventional control engineering techniques and analysis do not apply. Erosion products have a significant impact on lake water quality and sediment quality. Fine soil particles, attracts many undesirable chemical compounds which they carry with them to the bottom. High siltation rates continually bury the sediment. Erosion is therefore a factor in water quality. This study provides a comprehensive set of quantities and describes processes essential for lake management and in consequence gives sound consistent basic data for all nearshore studies"--Management perspective, p. iii.
