The overall aim of most dredging activities is to reduce the extent of flooding and act as a flood management tool. These dredged channels require long term maintenance and continued work as new silt will accumulate within the river bed over time. Whilst dredging may have its role to play, the report warns that it should only be used as part of a wider more integrated management approach.ĭredging involves the removal of sediment from the bottom and sides of river channels and can also include straightening of channels and deepening of the bottom. In a recent report by the Chartered Institution for Water and Environmental Management, the UK Government’s recent proposals for increased dredging activity to take place in order to reduce future flooding impacts have been labelled as ‘a cruel offer of false hope to those living in flood prone communities’.
