Abstract
The topographic changes in the shoreline around the artificial inlets of the Bardawil lagoon have been studied using aerial photographs. The amount of sediment dredged during the years 1970-1977 is about 50% of the amount predicted in 1970. It is suggested that the difference between the two is the result of the 'new' sediment budget of the South-East Mediterranean due to the effect of Asswan High Dam.
