Tideland Reclamation Projects, which have played a significant role in selfsuffficieny of food in Korea, are being greatly restricted nowadays in their implementation due to their demands of big amount of construction costs and their severe malfunctioning of contaminat-ing the marine environment. Under the situation, this paper was prepared not only to stimulate the Government to continue the imlementation of new tideland reclamation projects, but also to contribute to the development of tideland reclamation technology by which the construction costs and rnalfunctionings could be minimized. Eventhough, the functioning of filters is considered to be important for the safety of seadikes, their planning and design are being made unreasonably In view point of construc-tion cost and strutural safety. Therefore, a reliable planning and design method for filters is presented in this paper on the basis of filter theory. In this way, we professional engineers corncerned should endeavor to develop more ad-vanced technology, by which the Government would implement the tideland reclamation projects continuously to supply the land and water more steadily in time.
