Integrated sand control including sediment discharge from hinterland rivers is necessary to maintain coastal sand resources
over a long term. In this regard, the following subjects should be considered; efficient ways to transfer discharged sand
from a river to the neighboring coast, measures to improve storage efficiency of the discharged sand at the river delta
and/or river terrace, measures to prevent the sand resources from being discharged into the deep sea during flooding. From
the 1997 to January 2004, the jetty of 156 m length was constructed the Heoya-river mouth to protect the blockade of river
mouth. Several tests were carried out to investigate the characteristics of sediment transport and morphological change due
to the construction of the jetty at the Heoya-river mouth. Firstly, The sand discharge from Heoya river is quantified by
one-dimensional numerical analysis assuming the mixed sand of three different particle diameters. Also the numerical mode
system, which predicts the sea bed changes obtained from the Bailard's energy model(1981), was combined with the wave,
wave-induced currents and sediment transport models. Then, to understand the changes to the blockade of the river mouth,
several aerial photographs were compared, which showed that the changes were significant.
