Abstract:
A system and method to provide water and sediment flow through a dam or rock jetty, including a plurality of flow pipes positioned through the dam or jetty to receive water carrying sediment and a principal flow pipe to receive flow from the plurality of flow pipes and to deposit water and sediment a predetermined distance to the rear of the dam or jetty. A continuous trough may be mounted on the jetty forward face to efficiently capture water and sediment at entrances of the plurality of flow pipes. A system and method is also provided to suppress wave action against a shoreline and to collect sediment to build up the shoreline, comprising shelves extending out from a front wall of each body section, below a plurality of flow pipes, the shelves for shearing a wave and dispersing and using wave energy to direct sediment through the flow pipes.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 18  wherein the first flow pipe extends a desired distance to the rear of the dam or barrier and the method further comprising flowing water carrying sediment from the second flow pipe to the first flow pipe so that the first flow pipe can flow the water carrying sediment received from the second flow pipe to the desired distance to the rear of the dam or barrier.
