Hydrodynamics were measured at the base of embankments and foreshores at three locations around Kumirmari island, Indian GBM delta in July-August 2022. Tidal inundation, current velocity, and wave orbital velocity were measured using B4+ Mini Buoys (low-cost bottom mounted floats). Wave heights and energy were measured using RBRSolo3 D | wave sensors. Water depth in front of embankments were measured using a Garmin Aquamap device. Sediment properties were also gathered at each hydrodynamic sensor deployment. The purpose of the survey was to determine the level of hydrological forcing around the island, to provide guidance on coastal flood and erosion protection planning.
