A model was created to predict how waves affect the shape of the beach in Ras Al-Zour, Kuwait. It uses two main parts: one predicts waves and currents near the shore, and the other predicts changes in the beach's shape. The model was used to forecast where sand would build up and wash away on a section of the beach.
