Abstract/Contents:Describes the use of a "hyrdraulicallly powered suction-head dredge" "to remove sediment without having to drain a lake, while processing the sediment and debris in a remote location." Details the sediment removal process. Lists potential benefits of the remote dredging process, including "less damage to the golf course and areas immediately surround the lake"; "the material can be pumped and processed up to three miles away from the dredging site, making it less intrusive to the golf operation"; "the lake remains full at all times"; "a significant increase in overall water storage capacity." Concludes that "remote dredging technology is ideally suited for golf courses and is capable of removing the sediment and processing the material offsite without disrupting the golf course."
