Thank you for your attention!
Conclusion:
Approximating the realistic bathymetry with the uniform bottom can lead to serious error. It is possible to:•predict wrong shape of the maximum deposition region,•miscalculate its area,•give incorrect value and location of the maximum BCL,•fail to estimate the total area exposed to particulate waste.
