Managing sediment to benefit a
region potentially saves money, allows use of natural
processes to solve engineering problems, and improves the
environment. As a management method, RSM
- Includes the entire environment,
from the watershed to the sea
- Accounts for the
effect of human activities on sediment erosion as well
as its transport in streams, lakes, bays, and
oceans
- Protects and enhances the nation's natural
resources while balancing national security and economic
needs
The Corps of Engineers holds in
trust and manages lands and waterways across the U.S.
Using regional sediment management concepts will
significantly improve the Corps' mission accomplishment.
The Corps' engineers and scientists develop new
technologies through research to make management
decisions more accurate and efficient. Simultaneously,
they evaluate RSM concepts through projects that
highlight and improve sediment management
activities.
