EN: to dredge
This is heavy-duty cleaning for rivers and canals. Think of it as declogging the world's biggest sink. It's what needs to happen to the Pasig River, and what you wish you could do to your clogged kitchen drain but on a massive scale. It's a dirty, noisy, but absolutely necessary job to prevent floods. Or, you know, what you do to your DMs to clear out old, irrelevant messages.
From Spanish 'draga' (dredge).
Primarily used in the context of civil engineering, public works, and environmental cleaning.
