McAnally, W. H. (2023). Navigation Channel Sedimentation Solutions, Manual of Practice 156. Reston, VA: American Society of Civil Engineers. 242.

Navigation Channel Sedimentation Solutions, MOP 156, describes navigation channel sedimentation, lists solutions to sedimentation problems in those channels, and recommends practices for predicting navigation channel sedimentation responses resulting from those solutions. Inland, estuarine, and coastal navigation channel sedimentation problems can be solved from among seven strategies, including many sustainable solutions. Best practices for field, desktop, and model predictions include structured problem definition, tool selection, tiered tools application, expert interpretation, reporting of results with uncertainty bounds, and informed management.
