DREDGING SYSTEMS  AND THE BASIC DREDGE LAWS^©

Each dredge law provides you with a fundamental and convenient relationship between two or more of the factors which affect dredge production. By the judicious application of these laws, you will be able to understand the complex dredging cycle and to make the changes in design or operating procedure to maximize the output of a given dredge.
