* Sedimentation, dredging, and disposal;
* Water quality;
* Habitat (aquatic, terrestrial, wetlands);
* Migratory fish and birds;
* Historic preservation; and
* Restoration and environmental laws directed to waterway design and operation.
This report is a valuable reference for those involved with waterway design and operations and will be of use as an educational text for the academic community.
