International Conference on Dredging and Dredged Material Placement National Spatial Data Infrastructure and its usefulness to the dredging community Efforts have been made by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and the creation of a National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) as an element of the National Information Highway has helped in solving some of the problems of the unavailability and unacceptability of data needed to support the applications. Data dredging (also known as data snooping or p-hacking) is the misuse of data analysis to find patterns in data that can be presented as statistically significant, thus dramatically increasing and understating the risk of false positives. New data are becoming available to allow the examination of the consequences of dredging in a manner not done before. The solution to understanding the dredging impacts is the type of scenario that lends itself to new approaches to understanding interrelationships between multiple variables within a dynamic environment.

In recent years, the SWP has been prone to rapid-onset shoaling, with predictive lead times based on upstream river discharge rates of only about 14 days. mining - Mining - Dredging, Extraction, Reclamation: Dredging is the underwater excavation of a placer deposit by floating equipment. The entrance channel for this vast inland port system is known as Southwest Pass (SWP) and is the most highly utilized commercial deep-draft waterway in the nation.
