  • Second pilot project for innovative Water Injection Dredging set to begin at Tuttle Creek Lake after delay

    The Kansas City District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in partnership with the Kansas Water Office, is pleased to announce the start of the second demonstration period for the innovative Water Injection Dredging project at Tuttle Creek Lake following last week’s delay. The second demonstration period will take place from March 26 – April 4, 2026, providing a real-world assessment of Water Injection Dredging's effectiveness in sedimentation management within inland reservoirs. This pioneering project aims to evaluate Water Injection Dredging (WID) as a potential alternative to traditional mechanical dredging. WID technology uses a pressurized and controlled injection of water to loosen sediment from the lakebed, allowing it to be carried downstream by the natural current.
