common for adequate drainage to be given little to no attention in many building projects until it is too late and additional costs are incurred.\u00a0 For example, a common, logical but erroneous approach to drainage issues is to raise the level of the land by filling as an alternative to providing a drainage system that would be more sustainable.\u00a0 We know that proper drainage

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Coastal engineering is a branch of civil engineering concerned with the specific demands posed by constructing at or near the coast, as well as the development of the coast itself.\u00a0 The hydrodynamic impact of waves, tides, storm surges and the damaging nature of the salt water are typical challenges that face a coastal engineer.\u00a0 There are also the morphodynamic changes of the coastal topography to consider, caused by both man-made changes and the autonomous development of the system.\u00a0 Without the proper knowledge, building near the coast could not only be a costly mistake, it could also be fatal.\u00a0 <em>LeadingEdge Synergy Consulting <\/em>has two Dutch-trained Coastal Engineers with Masters degrees in hydraulic engineering for low-lying areas like Belize, with close ties to the Coastal Zone Management Authority and Institute.\u00a0 We have the tools to capture data on parameters that influence coastal changes, allowing us to provide analysis and authoritative recommendations.\u00a0 We are strong advocates for working with nature, rather than against it, as the natural world often provides the most sustainable solutions.\u00a0<\/p><p>As well as recommending coastal defense strategies, we also provide input on environmental impact assessments, port development, land reclamation, energy-production facilities etc.\u00a0 This includes recommendations on the optimal earth-moving equipment and the supervision of dredging operations.\u00a0

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Erosion is the loss of material due to the regular movement of water and\/or wind at a velocity that is able to move surface material.\u00a0 To combat this, one must slow down\/redirect the water and\/or wind , or increase the weight of the surface particles.\u00a0 Erosion and accretion commonly occur along the coast and are more complex because they are influenced by wind, waves, tidal movements and human activity.\u00a0 Too often, well-intentioned initiatives by community groups to address or to try and control coastal erosion end up exacerbating the situation.\u00a0 We can design a strategy rooted in information gathered on the influencing parameters of erosion and the application of coastal engineering principles, firmly based on nature, with vegetation and surface revetment as an integral part of the
