The safe navigation of vessels using the dredged channel requires the swell to be measured. This and other inputs allows dynamic under-keel clearance statistics to be calculated. ...
A harbor development plan in Kazakhstan required the dredging of a 70 km long navigation channel through this area. SediMeter™ instruments were deployed to assess the sedimentary environment, taking advantage of their ability to measure the near-bed turbidity. The SediMeter™ can also be used to detect the presence of bedload transport as opposed to ...

In the worst cases, accumulated sediment can reduce the water’s depth so much that it prevents boat and barge traffic, necessitating dredging of navigation channels. Sediment can harm aquatic life by smothering the benthic ecosystem, clogging fish gills, and harming the development of fish eggs and larvae. ...
As the rain continues into February, Farmers throughout the country are being urged to help alleviate flooding through pumping and not exacerbating situations through water channel dredging and similar.

The characteristics and overall scope for the coast-to-coast part of the works may be summarised as follows: A total causeway length of approximately 40 km from coast to coast A dual carriageway on the causeway with two lanes in each direction A rail corridor on the south side of the road with two tracks Five embankments in the causeway alignments with individual lengths between 500m and ...
Changes in the geometric shape of the river channel are the major cause of the change in the stage–streamflow relation. (3) An abrupt decrease of water level at the Boluo station is mainly the result of abnormally rapid downcutting of the riverbed due to extensive sand dredging within the channel which caused serious headwater erosion. ...
