Barrage from Clacton to Margate, estimated construction cost of £250 million, proposed for Europort and new townsite on landfill to alleviate London congestion and improve port facilities; polders and dams to use on site materials for fills; reclaimed land to be site of new London airport and highway system; besides becoming recreation areas, planned lakes will reduce salinity of Essex-Kent water tables.
