Problem that must be

considered in the design

and operation of harbors
In confined harbors, the combination of storm tides,
waves, and currents can also severely damage
marinas.

To prevent destructive wave action, break water are

provided.
Break water
Range of tides
At low tide, the water will be too shallow for the ship
to move and it will hit the bottom of the harbour.

Depth and width are kept more at entrance

The entrance of the harbor should be wide enough to
provide the easy passage of ships.
Direction and intensity of wind
The bottom of harbor should provide secured
anchorage to hold the ships against high winds.
Temperature
High temperatures also wear and tear on the boat,
making it's colors fade and look less appealing.
Site selection
Following factors play a great role in the choice of site
of a harbour.

1. Availability of cheap land and construction material

2. Natural protection from waves and winds
3. Transport and communication facilities
4. Industrial development of the locality
5. Sea bed conditions
6. availability of electrical energy
Site selection
7. sufficiently large pool of water
