| Notes | “Tide gates tend to be effective at maintaining low water levels on the upland side of dikes. Unfortunately, by altering water flow they have some undesirable side effects that can be classified into three main—but interrelated—categories: physical, chemical, and biological” (p.1). This report summarizes these effects. Richly illustrated with line drawings and photographs. |
