- •
A sensitivity analysis of the influence of channel geometry over the impact of a tidal farm on water levels has been performed with idealised models of estuaries.
- •
Blockage effects and sensitivity of the tidal response to friction have an important role.
- •
In general, the effect of the tidal farm leads to an attenuation of the tidal range.
- •
Loss of intertidal areas and positive effects on flood risk levels are potential environmental impacts derived from the tidal farm.
