Dredging Research, Volume 1 No. 1

Abstract

Since the earliest days of man-kind, waterways provided the most efficient and economical means of transporting goods. This is still time today, when international commerce requires moving goods on a global scale. As the world's population continues to grow, demand for shipping space increases and advanced technology allows for vessels of ever-increasing sizes. The dimensions of future shipping vessels far exceed the dimensions of waterways instructive in the United States, demanding continuous maintenance and enhancement, as well as new development. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is prepared to meet the challenge of future growth by conducting research and development that seeks to balance the need for maintaining a viable navigation system through dredging while providing necessary environmental protection and enhancement.
