...These studies argued that this reduction of flood and ebb discharges caused sediment accretion (infilling of channels, accretion of mudflats and marshes) in front (seaward) of the constructed embankments (Hood 2004; Jongepier et al. 2015)....

...Dikes along the river disturb the water quality regulation capacity of estuaries (Hood 2004, Bilkovic and Mitchell 2013), although, on the other hand, it can prevent contaminated runoff from the land to the river (Dugan et al. 2011)....

...Tidal channel allometry follows from a more general fractal theory of landforms (RodriguezIturbe and Rinaldo 1997), and the scaling of perimeter with surface area is a common reflection of landform fractal geometry (Mandelbrot 1983; Sugihara and May 1990)....

...Greater adjustment in width relative to depth with changing discharge is consistent with hydraulic geometry theory (Leopold et al. 1964)....

...Because high sinuosity is associated with small channel width relative to depth (Leopold et al. 1964), the observed correlation between changes in sinuosity and in mean channel width suggests that distributary channel widths changed to a greater degree than channel depths....

...As a final error check, meander bends in tidal channels were examined at scales ranging from 1:1,000 to 1:10,000 to determine whether erosion had occurred in the cut banks of the meanders and sediment deposition at the point bars, in accord with theoretical expectations (Leopold et al. 1964)....
