Abstract: Sediment must be dredged from the bottom of waterbodies to maintain their capacity and navigability. Dredging, by its nature, involves the removal of highwater-content slurries and also helps preserve waterbody ecosystems through a combination of volume and contaminant reduction. The remedial aspect of this process encompasses first separating the water and solids, then containing those fractions, followed by their recirculation or treatment.
