Transport of solid material to the coastal zone near Gelendzhik after extremely heavy rains

The consequences of extremely heavy rains in the coastal zone near Gelendzhik on July 6, 2012 are discussed with defining the sources of the solid material supply to the seashore, estimating their influence on the lithodynamic processes, and approximately calculating the volumes of the solid material that was transported by permanent and intermittent streams and provided by the coastal denudation. It is emphasized that the probability of such anomalous natural events should be taken into account when prognosticating the evolution of the seashore and estimating the balances of solid material.
