A dredge refers both to the act of removing or relocating underwater sediment and to the machine used for this purpose. Dredges are commonly employed in the fishing industry and agriculture for geological surveys and land maintenance.
There are three primary types of dredges:
The key distinction among these types lies in their water usage relative to the sediment moved. Mechanical dredges typically use less water, hydraulic dredges use significantly more, and pneumatic dredges use a small amount of water to suction sediment.
During dredging, it is vital to consider potential water quality pollution, as these processes involve lifting sediment from underwater bodies.
Dredging is primarily conducted to remove impurities and sediment, improving water sources for agricultural use. Dredges are used in various agricultural activities, including:
The choice of dredge type depends on the specific requirements of the task. Mechanical dredges are suitable for situations where minimal sediment disturbance is desired. Hydraulic dredges, being highly efficient, are versatile and used for a range of purposes. Pneumatic dredges, which require high pressure for sediment suction, are more suited for deep-sea applications than shallow waters.
