Keywords: outdoor vehicle boat waterfront water sea Dustpan dredges like the Dredge Jadwin are unique to the Mississippi River. They &quot;vacuum&quot; sand and silt accumulated on the river floor. The dredge operation is basically simple. The suction head, about as wide as the hull of of dredge, is lowered to the face of the material to be removed. High velocity water jets in the suction head agitate and loosen the material. The slurry is drawn up by a pump that passes the material along to a floating pipeline and deposited outside the navigation channel.
