The waterways have been subjected to many foreign threats for many years, even before the Industrial Revolution.
The catastrophic Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico on the BB-operated Macondo Prospect caused tremendous damage to the entire area and marine environment.
It also impacted many other business operations and recreational sites.
Using safety gears when dealing with the environment are less costly when preventive measures are emphasized than a cleanup.
Sedimentation and sediment reuse are important parts in first stages of construction.There are many advance equipment available nowadays such as filters, pumps, liners, and dredgers that have been designed to remove sediments, chemicals, metal fragments, and debris from the bottom of the waterways.
On an industrial site, you can find small pieces of stones, metal fragments, silt, and debris that will find the hardest point for drainage.
