Sedimentation and Dredging (DM-26.3), Section 1: Introduction

This opening section introduces the Navy design manual on coastal sedimentation and dredging. It states the scope of the manual, notes which earlier criteria it cancels, and lists related criteria and collateral reading, so a designer knows where this manual stops and the companion manuals begin.

It is short, but it is useful as a map. The manual deals with two connected problems that every harbor owner faces: how sand and mud move along the coast and into harbors, and how the resulting shoaling is removed by dredging.
