Abstract

GUTIERREZ BENITEZ, Omar et al. Water erosion at hotel Ancon beach, Sancti Spiritus, Cuba. riha [online]. 2018, vol.39, n.1, pp.84-97. ISSN 1680-0338.

The purpose of this work was to assess the contribution of the storm drainage system of the Ancon hotel over the erosion of its beach sector and to propose a plan of corrective measures for their mitigation. A procedure based on the eight steps in the solution of a problem was designed, complemented with specific methodologies and tools. The water origin of the erosion was predominating, with manifestations of the gully erosion type. Rain erosive power, enhanced by technical and organizational deficiencies in the storm drainage system, as well as the influence of the erodibility of the land and constructed elements, increases flow and velocity rates. A corrective action plan to mitigate erosion based on hydraulic and coastal engineering solutions was designed.
