MHS Methods

1. KSO : Keep sediment out – minimisesediment flux to the harbour area.

2. KSM : Keep sediment moving – minimisesediment settling in the harbour area

3. KSN : Keep sediment navigable – takeadvantage of transitional properties of fluidmud or prevent it consolidating so thatships can navigate through the suspension(i.e. nautical depth principle)

4. KSIS : Keep sediment in the system
