Sedimentation Management: Reservoir and Dam Dredging
The process of sediment removal from a reservoir or a dam by mechanical or hydraulic means, as well as other methods, is known as dredging. As a result, it may be used to keep the storage capacity of future generations without causing significant drawdown. At the most basic level, dredging is the excavation of soil and rock beneath water. The ...

Dredging Facts
A dredge is a machine that scoops or suctions sediment from the bottom of waterways or is used to mine materials underwater. People have been dredging channels in one way or another since primitive people began to irrigate crops. Until the early 1900s, dredges were crude and barely effective in keeping channels and harbors clean.
