Etude du fonctionnement hydro-sédimentaire de la zone portuaire de Sidi Bou Saïd, Tunisie

The port of Sidi Bou Saïd, Tunisia, faces chronic silting issues that disrupt its operations, necessitating frequent dredging. A comprehensive hydro-sedimentary study was conducted to understand the current dynamics and silting mechanisms in the port's entrance channel. Using a global hydro-sedimentary modeling chain, researchers analyzed sediment transport patterns and assessed the impact of proposed modifications. The findings highlight the critical role of sediment movement in shaping the port's functionality, offering insights for sustainable management strategies.
