As a continuation of the initial study on the morphology of the Douro mouth, performed by Hydronamic in 1982, the Administracao dos Portos de Douro e Leixoes commisioned Hydronamic bv to construct a mathematical hydro-morphological model of the Douro mouth. Within the framework of the study an analysis of old charts, available in the archivas of A.P.D.L. has been made. The charts cover the period between 1860 and 1983. Both a statistical as a visual analysis of the charts has been made. The purpose of the visual analysis id to get a better insight of the morphological processes as they appeared in the past. Studying these charts gives a very good feeling on the real behaviour of the river. With such a more profound insight a more realistic mathematical model can be developed. In chapter 5 the visual analysis is discussed. The purpose of the statistical analysis is to provide data for the calibration of the mathematical model. The data obtained from the charts are put into the computer and analysed.
