Figure B6. The 20 vertical turbine pumps are mounted inside of the 20
independent sumps to ensure vortex free operation at maximum
discharge. Each sump was constructed of reinforced concrete and
has dimensions: cross-shore = 0.75 m, longshore = 1.5 m, and
depth = 1.2 m
Figure B7. Each pump in the Longshore Current recirculation system pumps
water through one of two parallel pipelines. One is for low-flow
conditions, the other is for high-flow conditions. The water passes
through a valve and then through a flow sensor (from right to left). A
0.3-m-long ruler is shown for scale just upstream of the smaller flow
sensor
