-Dispersion of dredging losses and Dique cannel sediment contributions (same type of sediment) -9 scenarios: Combination of 3 types of year (Niña, Mean y Niño) and 3 types of season (wet, transition and dry). -Dredging solid flow of 0,75 m3/s. -Barge (volume of de 2000 m3). Overflow when volumen>1600 m3 (from this moment, a 5% material losses until to fill the barge). -Generated material in dredging process: Silt of 8 micrometers and 2650 kg/m3 densty. -Dump:6 nautic miles from the dredging area.

3. Turbidity analysis
Conclusions -In the area to be dredged, the average SS concentration in the surface layer has values ranging from 0.048 kg/m3 (Niña year – wet season) to 0,074 kg/m3 ( Niño year –transition season). -In the dredging area, the maximum value of the temporal average concentration is between 0,123 kg/m3 (Niña year-wet season and Mean year-dry season) and 0.178 kg/m3 (Niño year-transition season). -Exceeding time of concentrations >0.02 kg/m3 is similar for all scenarios, whereas the related area to the exceeding time of concentrations > 0.01 kg/m3, is bigger for scenarios on the dry season due to hydrodynamic fenomena in the channel (higher outflow in that zone). -The discharge into the dump area has a very localized dispersion not reaching the dredging area or inside the bay. -Dredging material losses affect a localized area in the dredging zone. While the dredge is working the SS concentration in this area due to its losses are greater than the concentration provide by Dique channel. During Niña year the SS concentration coming from Dique channel is much greater than the sediment contribution of the dredging process. On the dry season it is lightly smaller.
