Dhow Island – Coastal Modelling Assessment
Location:
Dhow Island, Dubai
• Hydrodynamic Modelling study Review and Endorsement
The Dhow Island project involved a Hydrodynamic Modelling Study Review and Endorsement to support the Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR).
.
The study focused on evaluating tidal flows, current velocities, and overall water circulation patterns around Dhow Island and the adjacent coastal zone. This analysis ensured that the proposed development would not negatively affect nearby shorelines or marine habitats..
.
Through detailed model verification and review, the study confirmed that the hydrodynamic conditions remain stable and that the project design aligns with sustainable coastal management principles. The endorsement process emphasized the importance of maintaining proper water exchange, minimizing sediment deposition, and ensuring long-term environmental balance within the Port Rashid and Dubai coastal system.
