Dredging

Dredging is a process used to remove sediment, debris, or other materials from the bottom of rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. This technique is often employed to keep waterways navigable, improve water quality, or create new land. Dredging can involve digging up the bottom sediment and transporting it elsewhere, using specialized equipment like dredgers. While it can be beneficial for navigation and environmental management, it also raises concerns about ecosystem disruption and water pollution. Proper management is essential to minimize the negative impacts while ensuring the waterways serve their intended purposes.
