  "term": "Dredging",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "In hydrologic terms, the scooping, or suction of underwater material from a harbor, or waterway. Dredging is one form of channel modification.

Dredging is usually undertaken only on large rivers to maintain a navigation channel.",
