Recourse has to be taken to laboratory studies to provide the necessary information regarding the performance characteristics of submerged breakwaters.

Theoretical analysis of the problem has not proved satisfactory primarily because of the difficulties in quantifying the energy losses that always accompany these wave - structure interactions. However quantitative information available about the hydraulic behaviour of these submerged breakwaters is rather limited.

Submerged breakwaters have been effectively used to protect harbour entrances, to reduce siltation in entrance channels, against beach erosion, and for creation of artifical fishing grounds.

In situations where complete protection from waves is not required, submerged breakwaters offer a potentially economic solution. Submerged breakwater is a barrier with its crest at or slightly below the still water level.
