Extract

The conservancy problems of any modern major terminal port are governed by certain features. In this paper the Port of Southampton is examined within the context of these features and certain significant facts are recorded; recent work to improve the facilities of the port is then described and possibilities of further long-term development are discussed. The features referred to may be classified as:

(i) The geological history.

(ii) The tidal regime. In particular the spring lunitidal interval and range, the times, direction and rate of maximum tidal streams and relation to local high water, duration of slack-water periods and particularly that phase of the tidal stream which is dominant in rate.
