Engineers are injecting oxygen into the Savannah River harbor. The project is part of the plan to deepen the harbor.
The Savannah Morning News reports that two, two-story cones that look like tepees, are sitting on a barge in the harbor. They are injecting oxygen into the water to see if they would be effective in replenishing oxygen lost when harbor is deepened from 42 to 48 feet.
Deepening a harbor reduces the water’s oxygen content. This is part of an Environmental Impact study of the proposed deepening. Congress has approved the plan pending the impact study.
