Dredging involves digging and removing material from waterways to deepen them for navigation. It maintains harbor and channel depths and creates new access points. There are two main types: mechanical dredging uses buckets to excavate material, while hydraulic dredging uses water pressure to break up and pump material through pipes. Dredging is needed to allow vessel passage, but can disturb seabeds and increase turbidity through suspended sediments. Proper planning aims to minimize environmental impacts of this necessary maintenance of waterways.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. WHAT IS DREDGING?
Dredging is the term given to digging, gathering, or
pulling out material to deepen waterways, create
harbours, channels, locks, docks and berths, desilt
lakes and keep river entrances and approaches to
boat ramps clear. The material removed during
dredging can vary greatly and can be any combination
of rocks, clays, silts or sands.
4. WHY DREDGING?
To maintain the depth in existing ports, harbours and channels to
provide ready and safe passage for commercial and recreational
vessels.
To create new or deeper access or berths for vessels. This may mean
the deepening and widening of channels and anchorages as well as
the excavation of basins and marinas from areas of previously dry
land.
To provide material for specific purposes, eg. beaches in coastal areas
subject to erosion are sometimes ‘renourished’ with sand dredged from
other areas.
To bypass an artificial structure , such as a breakwater, that is an
obstacle to the normal pattern of sediment movement along the coast.
Dredging prevents a build up of material to be deposited down stream
of the obstacle to allow the natural sediment transport process to occur.
To place a structure inside water bodies
6. DREDGING PROCEDURE
Pretreatment :
Pretreatment means treatment of the ground before
the dredging operations.
It usually consists of a separate operation carried out
independently of other dredging.
There are two basic methods of pretreatment:
chemical and mechanical and both are applied to rock
or cemented soil.
7. DREDGING PROCEDURE
Extraction:
The extraction process involves the movement of the spoil
from its natural pretreated position into vertical
transportation and its delivery to the transport system.
Extraction processes are often a combination of at least two
operations: the primary operation which disintegrates or
dislodges the soil and the secondary operation which moves
it.
The first of these operations is performed either
mechanically or hydraulically.
9. DIFFERENT TYPES OF DREDGING
Dredging can be classified as:
1. Mechanical Dredging
2. Hydraulic Dredging
10. DIFFERENT TYPES OF DREDGING
Mechanical Dredging:
Mechanical dredging involves removal of
material by a bucket, placement of the material
in a scow or on a barge, and towing that scow
or barge to a disposal or transfer area.
11. DIFFERENT TYPES OF DREDGING
Mechanical Dredging:
oIf a scow is used with open water disposal, the
doors would open at the disposal site, releasing
the material to fall through the water column to
the bottom.
oIf a scow or barge is used with any other type
of disposal, it would be towed to the disposal or
transfer site where another bucket machine
would remove the material from the scow or
barge and transfer it onto a vehicle or directly
into a near shore disposal area.

18. DIFFERENT TYPES OF DREDGING
Hydraulic Dredging:
Hydraulic pipeline dredging involves use of a hydraulic
(suction) dredge, most commonly for either beach
nourishment of suitable sands, or deposit into an upland
containment area (for dewatering or direct disposal).
19. DIFFERENT TYPES OF DREDGING
Hydraulic Dredging:
Hydraulic dredging provides the cleanest and
least obtrusive method for sediment removal
without damaging the sensitive environment.
20. DIFFERENT TYPES OF DREDGING
Hydraulic Dredging:
Typically the dredge uses a cutter head on the end of the
suction arm to loosen the material while the dredge pump
suctions the loosened material through the arm to the
pump in a slurry of about 75 to 90 percent water and 10 to
25 percent sediment. The slurry is pumped through a
pipeline to a disposal site or dewatering/transfer area.
21. DIFFERENT TYPES OF DREDGING
Hydraulic Dredging:
A hydraulic dredge floats
on the water and
excavates and pumps the
material through a
temporary pipeline to an
offsite location, often
several thousand feet
away. This dredge acts like
a floating vacuum cleaner
that can remove sediment
very precisely.
23. DIFFERENT TYPES OF DREDGING
Hydraulic Dredging:

29. Types of Dredgers
According To Dredging Types Dredgers Are
Divided Mainly Into Two Kinds:
1. Mechanical Dredgers
2. Hydraulic Dredgers
30. Types of Dredgers
In the Mechanical Dredgers material is
conveyed By mechanical contravenes,
whereas, in the Hydraulic Dredgers, it is
conveyed by water through pipes.
They are further classified under various
principal types, depending on their mode of
operation.
31. Mechanical Dredgers
(i) Bucket or Grab Dredger:
It is essentially a stiff-leg
derrick on a floating platform.
By means of a derrick
arrangement it lowers an open
grab bucket onto the material,
fills it there and lifts it.
The material is either
deposited alongside the
channel, or dumped in barges
or in hoppers provided on the
dredger.
35. Mechanical Dredgers
(i) Bucket or Grab Dredger:
Mechanical dredgers work best in consolidated,
or hard packed materials and can be used to clear
rocks and debris.
The advantage of the bucket dredger lies in its
ability to work in small areas inaccessible to other
types of dredgers.
It is efficient in homogeneous materials,
particularly in stiff mud.
36. Mechanical Dredgers
(i) Bucket or Grab Dredger:
The digging power of the bucket depends on its weight
and its effect is diminished by the lifting tendency of the
closing wire.
It dose not have sufficient penetration power to obtain a
full load in harder material, compacted sand, gravel and
clay.
Sometimes, the bucket spins twisting the opening and
closing wires; the operation is stopped till they are
straightened out, resulting in much loss of time.
37. Mechanical Dredgers
(ii) Dipper Dredger:
• The dredger consists of a floating power shovel, and
except for the digging equipment, it is same a bucket
dredger.
• It should be used only if the material is resistant such as
soft rock, boulders’ material consisting of timber etc.
• Its unit cost of dredging is higher than for other dredgers.
39. Mechanical Dredgers
(iii) Ladder Dredger:
• This consists of buckets attached at each end of the
frame.
• It is suitable to excavate cohesive materials.
• These dredgers are used even with self-contained
hoppers. When hoppers are not provided, scow
(flat-bottom boats) are required to dispose of
dredged materials.
40. Mechanical Dredgers
(iii) Ladder Dredger:
• In river and harbors works, this dredger is suitable
for digging stiff, hard and non-homogeneous
materials; loose sand and soft mud tend to wash out
of the buckets reducing its efficiency for these
materials.
• This dredger is extensively used in Europe and in
the Suez Canal.
42. Mechanical Dredgers
(iv) Hopper Dredger:
• A self-contained and self-propelled hopper dredger is
provided with either a bucket or a dipper.
• But its drawback is that a self-contained hopper
arrangement generally makes the draft excessive and
it cannot be used for shallow dredging.
• With this dredger, however, material can either be
dumped alongside the channel to be dredged, or in any
place where it is required or where it can be carried
away by the stream.
44. Mechanical Dredgers
(v) Rock Dredger:
• Formerly, when rock had to be removed, the materials
was broken by blasting, and removed by bucket
dredgers.
• Of late, where rook is soft, it is removed by means of
strong steel claws; where it is hard, it is broken up by
the use of heavy rams.
• The rock outers have the form of heavy chisel pointed
rams, which after being raised, are allowed to drop 3 to
6 m. (10 to 20 ft.) on the rock.
• With rams of sufficient weight, hardest rocks can be
broken up. The debris is removed by grab.
46. HYDRAULIC DREDGERS
(i)Plain Suction Dredger:
• This is the simplest hydraulic floating dredger
with a centrifugal pump and auxiliary
equipment mounted in the hull.
• The size and type of the hull depends on the
size of the pump used and the amount of
power needed to operate the equipment.
• The size of the dredger is generally described
by the diameter of the discharge pipe, which
ranges from 15.2 to 76.2cm (6 to 30inch).
49. HYDRAULIC DREDGERS
(ii) Cutter Head Dredger:
• It is similar to the suction dredger, except that
it has a rotary cutter head which carves clay,
breaks off chunks of softer rocks such as coral
and shale, and stirs up gravel and sand so that
pipe carries material to its capacity.
• This dredger is being suitable for channel work,
cut-offs, new construction, harbor excavation
and making fills.
51. HYDRAULIC DREDGERS
(iii) Dust-pan Hydraulic Dredger:
• These dredgers are similar to the cutter head
pipe line dredge except that in the former
horizontally spread suction heads, similar to a
dust-pan or a vacuum cleaner nozzle, are
employed.
• Instead of a rotary cutter, high velocity water
jets are mounted in the suction head to loosen
the material.
52. HYDRAULIC DREDGERS
(iii) Dust-pan Hydraulic Dredger:
• The suction head may be as wide as 9.7 m.
(32ft.) and is provided with nozzles, through
which water is pumped at 1.8 kg. /sq. cm. (25
1b./sq. in. ) to agitate the material so that it
can be more easily picked up.
• This dredger is commonly used on the
Mississippi River for the maintenance of
navigation channels.
54. HYDRAULIC DREDGERS
(iv) Hopper Dredger Hydraulic Type:
• It is equipped to operate as an anchorless
hydraulic dredger for transporting and
dumping the excavated material without the
assistance of auxiliary plant such as tugs,
barges, etc.
• This dredger is capable of operating in rough
water where pipe line dredgers are
unsatisfactory because of the breaking of the
pipe line.
56. HYDRAULIC DREDGERS
(iv) Hopper Dredger Hydraulic Type:
• It is particularly suitable in busy and
crowded harbors, whereas pipe line
dredgers, with their long anchor cables
and pipe lines, occupy much space and
are slow, impeding harbor traffic.
• The principal elements of the hopper
dredger are the pump, the drag hoist
and hopper bins.
58. Dredging and River Bank Protection
• Dredging is getting popular day by day as a
means of river training work to improve the
navigational depth as well as attain channel.

60. Dredging and River Bank Protection
• The combined use of dredging, dikes and the
disposal of dredged material in the dike fields can
introduce major changes in the cross sectional
characteristics of a river.
• The dredging and contraction reduce the width-to-
depth ratio of a river upto an extent.
• They increase the channels capacity for transport
of suspended portion of bed material.
• It decreases the capacity for transport of bed load.
61. Dredging and River Bank Protection
• Dredging can significantly altered river
characteristics when employed as an agent for
morphologic changes in support of engineering
requirements for river system development.
• Dredging and open water disposal of dredged
material in support of channel maintenance
implies the moving of alluvial sediments from
the mail channel or thalweg region toward the
periphery of the channel.
62. Dredging and River Bank Protection
• This continued lateral redistribution of
sediments not only interrupts the natural
downstream movement of sediment in a system
but also affects the local channel morphology.
63. Dredging and River Bank Protection
• The lateral redistribution of sediment
by dredging combined with the
contraction works not only affect the
local channel morphology but
indirectly retards the movement of bed
load through the system.

67. IMPACTS OF DREDGING
Dredging activities have the potential to change
the environment.
At the sites of dredging and disposal the seabed
and associated communities are disturbed and for
some distance, suspended sediment may cause
turbidity in water and increased sedimentation on
the bottom.
Depending upon the nature of the dredged
material, its disturbance from the sea bed may lead
to changes in the chemical composition of the
water.
68. IMPACTS OF DREDGING
As well as toxicants, the nutrient elements,
particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, which
control the rate of marine plant growth can also
be released from sediments during dredging,
with a risk of triggering algal blooms.
Another biological risk from dredging involves
the transport of species in dredgers from one
port (or even country) to another.
70. MORPHOLOGICAL AND HYDRAULIC RESPONSE
DUE TO DREDGING
• Dredging effects the morphological and
hydraulic behaviour of a channel section.
• Due to initial deepening or capital dredging of
a channel, the river bed is degraded until the
balance between the sediment load supplied
to the river reach and the sediment transport
capacity of the flow is restored.
71. MORPHOLOGICAL AND HYDRAULIC RESPONSE
DUE TO DREDGING
• In the long term the result will be
degradation to a more gentler slope and a
greater depth downstream of the point of
dredging.
• Degradation will also occur in upstream
which leads to lowering of river bed with
initial slope.
72. Dredging in Bangladesh
• Two types of dredging are conducted in
Bangladesh:
Capital Dredging
(Example: Gorai River Project by BWDB)
Maintenance Dredging
(Example: Paturia and Daulatdia Ferry Ghats
by BIWTA)
