Abstract:
A method for constructing a series of ponds to protect coastal land from a rise of the surface of the sea, comprising the steps of:constructing a first offshore dam substantially parallel to the coastline, said first offshore dam containing at least one caisson having at least one pump turbine;constructing two first partition dams substantially perpendicular to the offshore dam, said two first partition dams containing flood gates;connecting the first offshore dam to the two first partition dams to form a first pond, between the first offshore dam, the coastline and the two first partition dams;extending the offshore dam, with the extension containing at least one caisson having at least one pump turbine, for construction of a second pond;constructing a further partition dam, containing flood gates, substantially perpendicular to the extension of the offshore dam; andconnecting the further partition dam to the extension of the offshore dam and the coastline to form a second pond, adjacent to said first pond between the extension of the offshore dam, the coastline, a first partition dam, and the further partition dam.
