sediment removal
investment opportunity in infrastructure
A New Non-invasive Flood Control invention:
The RSA Bedload Sediment Harvester
USBR Sediment Removal
@ 1:40 “we need better sediment removal technology,” Jennifer Bountry, supervisor Sedimentaion and River Hydraulics Group, USBR
Principle
- Bedload sediment moves along the bottom of the water body by rolling, sliding, or bouncing.
- Bedload sediment consists of larger particles such as gravel, pebbles, and larger sand grains that are transported along the bed of a river or stream.
- The RSA Bedload Sediment Harvester is a non-invasive sediment capture and removal device reducing downstream build up of bedload sediment.
- The device uses the natural river flow propelling the bedload into the device where it is collected and mechanically removed from the riverbed.
- The RSA Bedload Sand Sediment Harvester does not dredge the riverbed.
- The bedload can be sold.
