This is because the depth of the water has a significant effect for the maximum turning circle of an anchored vessel. In shallow water, the anchor chain has longer catenary than in deep water when the length of the chain laid out is the same. And so, to minimize its turning circle, the anchor chain laid out in shallow water should be less than in deep water. Normally, in moderate weather condition, determining the right lenght of the chain to be paid out is by getting the depth of the water and multiply it by 3-5 times. In bad weather condition, multiply it by 5-8 times or more.

Is there more animal life in shallow or deep water?

Seahorses tend to like Shallow Waters More than Deep Waters
Are PFD's more buoyant in deep water than in shallow water?
yes
Why do sunken ships rust quickly in shallow water and slowly in deep water?
Rusting is the result of oxidation of iron (steel). Theer's more dissolved oxygen in shallow water than there is in deep water.
Why is there more life in shallow ocean water environments?
because it is warmer
If you pour water into a wide shallow dish will more solid dissolve?
This depends on the volume of water.
Why is the pH of shallow groundwater less than that of deep groundwater?
More dissolved solids accumulated in deep ground water and perciatation makes shallow ground more acidic.
What causes waves to break as they approach shore?
the water becoming gradually more shallow..
Why is it harder to run in deep water as compared to shallow water?
The deeper you go, the more water there is, so it is pressing more on your legs, making it harder and harder to move.
