RSM Tool: CSAT Fact Sheet

<div>The Channel Shoaling Analysis Tool (CSAT) calculates channel-shoaling volumes using historical channel surveys and uses the shoaling rates to predict future dredging volumes. The CSAT leverages ongoing efforts by the USACE to standardize the manner in which hydrographic surveys are uploaded and processed through its eHydro program. The CSAT estimates future localized shoaling rates through a hindcasting algorithm and is designed to incorporate new hydrographic surveys.</div>
