Popis:	The long-term evolution of the seaward part of mixed-energy tidal inlet systems is analysed and modelled mathematically in terms of aggregated morphological parameters. The model is an adapted version of a two-line model, in which empirical information on the equilibrium state of the outer delta is included. Thus detailed computations of the water and sediment motion at the hydrodynamic time scale are avoided. The viability of the concept is tested and the model is verified against data from one of the inlets of the Western Wadden Sea. The results of a number of practice-based applications are shown and discussed.
