ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to a method for the building or restoration of marshes and beaches wherein a slurry of solid material and water is formed at one location and pumped to a remote location for uniform distribution of the slurry over a large area to substantially increase the elevation for the purpose of building a marsh, restoring a beach, or the like. The slurry is distributed by a high pressure nozzle uniformly directing a spray which falls in a mist over the area on which the slurry is deposited to produce a significant elevational increase in the area. The nozzle may make alternate directional sweeps, or rotate in a common direction to cover a circular area, with various adjustable vertical angles and pressure variations to control distribution.
