Public Expenditures on Water Transportation and Development Construction (state
and local only)
Dams and levees help to maintain navigability on inland waterways. Breakwaters
and jetties are vital to navigability on coastal waterways and at ports. Dredging
is another important category of expenditures, accounting for 134 million dollars
of state and local expenditures in 2001.

NOTES: Docks and marinas are a component of the Water transportation category
in the indicator "Public Expenditures on Nonroadway Transportation Construction."
Dam/levee and breakwater/jetty are the two monthly published components of
the Conservation and Development category from the Census Bureau data. Dam/levee
includes non-power dams, dikes, locks, and lock gates. Breakwater/jetty includes
bulkheads, erosion control, retaining walls, and other similar structures. In
addition, annual estimates for nonirrigation related dredging are published.
