What is Sediment Transport and Dredging Methods about?

Sediment transport must be carefully considered when planning ports. Waves play a key role in transporting sediment near coastal areas. Sediment accumulation can be a serious problem for harbor basins due to still waters allowing sediment to settle. Dredging is often needed to maintain navigation channels and harbor basin depths using mechanical or hydraulic methods. The economics of dredging are influenced more by fixed capital costs than variable operating costs.
