The second phase of development of the extensive Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa is presently underway. Part of this phase, which will be completed by September 1995, includes a tidal yacht marina linked by a lock to a residential canal system. Hydraulic design for this part of the works has involved long wave resonance studies, background monitoring of water and sediments in the surrounding docks, water quality modelling of the marina and pumped canal systems and bioremediation of contaminated soils in the area, previously used for oil storage. A water quality management strategy for the completed scheme is presently
