Based on the Dredging for Sustainable Infrastructure book, IADC publishes a paper based on Integrating dredging in sustainable development. The paper is available free of charge.
The paper Integrating dredging in sustainable development outlines the philosophy and concepts of sustainability and its application to water infrastructure projects focusing on practical issues for dredging.
Dredging is connected to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as those related to navigation, coastal protection and flood risk management. The dredging industry recognises the need to incorporate these goals into the infrastructure development process and communicate how projects align with the SDGs.
