The Tidewater Research Station, which was established in 1943 in Washington County, was made to serve a large area of North Carolina lying between the coastal plain region and North Carolina's coast. It replaced the Blackland Test Farm near Wenona, which was established in 1912. Agriculture in the Tidewater region has expanded rapidly during ...
Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular location. [1] Tide heights at intermediate times (between high and low water) can be approximated by using the rule of twelfths or more accurately calculated by using a published tidal ...
The term tidewater may be correctly applied to all portions of any area, including Virginia, where the water level is affected by the tides (more specifically, where the water level rises when the tide comes in). In the case of Virginia, the Tidewater region includes the land east of the Fall Line, the natural border with the Piedmont Region.

Lunar data are available from printed or online tables. Tide tables forecast the time of the next high water. [6] [7] The difference between these two times is the lunitidal interval. This value can be used to calibrate tide clock and wristwatches to allow for simple but crude tidal predictions. Unfortunately, the lunitidal intervals vary day ...
