EB687D020, 20 January 1987, as a part of the Dredging Research Program (DRP), managed by the WES Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC.with the bottom. Results in the test cases of the Houston Ship Channel and the Sabine and Port Arthur Harbor waterways in Texas indicate positive correlation between the simulated streamflows and actual dredging records.ĭredging Research Program: Practices and Problems Associated with Economic Loading and Overflow of Dredge Hoppers and Scows The study framework integrates the National Hydrography Dataset (NHDPlus Dataset) with parameters from the Corps Shoaling Analysis Tool (CSAT) and dredging record data from USACE District records.
This study establishes regional linear relationships between cumulative flow and dredged volumes over a long-term simulation covering 30 years (1985-2015), using drainage area and shoaling parameters. This study uses the Streamflow Prediction Tool, a runoff routing model based on global weather forecast ensembles, to estimate dredged volumes. Improving this prioritization process results in more efficient waterway maintenance. To execute these funds effectively, USACE Districts must determine which navigation channels need to be dredged in a given year. Over the past six fiscal years, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has contracted an average of about a billion dollars per year for navigation channel dredging.
