The separation and the dewatering of Elbe sediments are considered to be a good tool to reduce the total volume of the material which has to be land-filled. The quality of the clay is good enough for the usage for dyke construction purposes or for the coverage of dumping grounds. Additional alternative uses for the material should be developed.
