ABSTRACT:
Fluidization-assisted beach stabilization. Water is collected from beach-underlying subsoil, and is used to fluidize adjacent off-shore subsoil. More particularly, a first foraminous pipe is buried in beach-underlying subsoil, a second foraminous pipe is buried in adjacent offshore subsoil, such pipes are interconnected, water is collected from the beach subsoil in the first pipe, is transported through the interconnecting pipe to the second pipe, and is jetted from the latter pipe to fluidize the offshore subsoil therewith. Such apparatus and method make more wave-suspended subsoil particles available for deposition onto the beach and for retention thereon.
