Historically, much harm has been done by wellmeaning
coastal engineering attempts, which
seemed like good ideas on paper but which
failed to allow for practical issues. For this
reason, it is vital that theories and models are
well grounded in practice.
This second edition brings the models and
examples of practice up to date. It has expanded
coverage of tsunamis and generating energy
from waves to focus both on the great dangers
and the great opportunities that the ocean
presents to the coastal zone. With an emphasis
on practice and detailed modelling, this is a
thorough Engineers introduction have attempted to all to aspects solve water of coastal
resources engineering problems with the help of
empirical, regression-based and numerical
models. Empirical models are not universal, nor
are regression-based models. The numerical
models are, on the other hand, physics-based
but require substantial data measurement and
parameter estimation. Hence, there is a need to
employ models that are robust, user-friendly,
and practical and that do not have the
shortcomings of the existing methods. Artificial
intelligence methods meet this need. Soft

of dams have changed, as technological
developments have been influential on dam
planning, construction, operation and
maintenance processes. It is ICOLD’s mission to
not only consider these developments but also
adequately deal with environmental aspects and
related infrastructure issues. Altered water
cycles, more extreme weather conditions and an
increasing number of natural hazards clearly
affect the safe and economical operation of
dams and reservoirs. Moreover, emission-free
