Abstract
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) initiated the Regional Sediment Management (RSM) program in October 1999 to evaluate the implementation of regional approaches to sediment and project management within the USACE. The RSM Program has flourished from a single USACE District evaluation to a national paradigm shift which progresses the USACE from project scale management to regional management for both coastal and inland systems. Advancements in technologies in the areas of data collection, management, and analysis; numerical modeling; web-based tools; and communications have positioned the USACE to more efficiently and effectively implement regional approaches to improve our understanding of regional processes, share information and data, collaborate, and therefore improve decision making in the management of our sediments and projects. This paper discusses the methodology for implementing RSM, with an emphasis on advancements in technologies that have improved the USACE’s ability to implement regional approaches.
