Abstract: A traditional way of clearing silt from city lakes was to carry the silt to an abandoned dust field in an urban area using trucks. This paper describes a new way, using water power and a dredge pipeline to remove the silt that could result in reducing pollution on city roads, shortening the time taken for any project and making a saving on cost outlays. Making use of water power to dredge the silt in city lakes is therefore of great value.
