A method of beach/inlet stabilization, based upon a beach/inlet stabilization system for bypassing the littoral drift to cross an inlet, is provided. The beach/inlet stabilization system consists of a well system, a diffuser system, a flow guiding system, a sediment trapping system, a dune drainage system and a water surface elevation sensor. The method disclosed includes the steps of: (1) trapping the sediment carried by the littoral drift during flood tides and storms, with the sediment trapping system in the inlet during flood tides and storms, (2) regenerating the littoral drift by flushing the sediment trapping system when the ebb tidal current is weak, (3) directing the regenerated littoral drift by the diffuser system, located around the jetties between the inlet and the downstream beach, toward the downstream beach suffering from erosion or starvation of the littoral drift, (4) guiding the regenerated littoral drift toward the shore of the downstream beach, (5) lowering the ground water table of the downstream beach by the well system, (6) draining the excess ground water of the dune as the result of storm surges, adjacent to the downstream beach, and (7) sensing the water surface elevation and water flow velocity by the water surface elevation sensor, to generate control signals for the operation of the well system, the diffuser system, the sediment trapping system, the flow guiding system, and the drainage system.

For beach erosion control and maintenance control at an inlet, a method for bypassing the littoral drift of a body of water from the upstream beach of an inlet having an entrance to the downstream beach of the inlet, wherein the downstream beach is of porous media comprising the steps of: during flood tides, trapping the sediment carried by a littoral drift, with an inflow into a sediment trapping means anchored on the bottom of a body of water, around the entrance of said inlet, said trapping means comprising at least one assembled diffuser frame, trapping pipeline means and reversible pump means to vacuum water out of said sediment trapping means, said sediment trapping means having an outflow path, re-suspending the trapped sediment of the outflow path discharged of said sediment trapping means into said body of water, to form a regenerated littoral drift, when an ebb tidal current is weak, said outflow path resulting from water flowed into said sediment trapping means by said reversible pump means, and generating a water flow by a diffuser means installed on the floor of the water body between the downstream beach and said inlet, to direct said regenerated littoral drift toward the downstream beach, said diffuser means comprising a diffuser with flow deflector means and pipe means including check valve means on the pipe means, said pipe means interconnecting said diffuser means and said trapping means, and accepting fluid flow from said trapping means.
