PWA investigates and develops solutions for a wide range of sediment issues in fluvial, estuarine and coastal environments.

Our capabilities include sediment source assessments, sediment transport modeling, regional sediment management plans, gravel mining impact assessments, sediment budget analyses, dredging plans, use of dredged material for wetland creation and the development of restoration and stabilization designs to reduce sediment loading, including erosion control, channel stabilization and sediment trapping.

An important part of our work is developing analytical methods to predict morphological and habitat response to changing sediment dynamics. We have applied these methods in solving a variety of problems such as floodplain restoration, navigational channel maintenance and increased flood conveyance.
