Removal Work of Organic Deposit By Oozer Pump Dredge,
Abstract
Through drains from homes and factories, rivers that run adjacent to large cities are becoming more contaminated, worsening the living environment of residents along with development of the cities. The increase in contamination load is caused by the solution and elution of eutrophic salts from the contaminated bottom deposits. The quality of water in rivers and lakes, which had been progressively deteriorating along with economic development, is today being gradually improved through elimination of contamination by strengthening the regulations for drainage standards and development of sewage works, etc. However, of the rivers that are designated First Class, environmental standards are met in only about 75 percent of the cases; the remaining cases are unsatisfactory. Dredging is the purification method of the bottom deposit most often selected. This paper outlines the work of dredging, dehydration, and treatment of surplus water of the subsoil by means of the transportable modular Oozer pump dredge.
