The purpose of the model study was to determine if the present cost of maintenance dredging can be reduced by proposed plans involving channel realignments, partial or complete diking of connecting bays, sediment traps, dikes in Galveston Bay, local contractions, enlargements, and other remedial measuresDredgingHYDRAULIC MODELSInland waterwaysMaintenanceTexasTidesWATER RESOURCES - Salt Water IntrusionJournal
